A group of 6 teenagers was reportedly detained after causing chaos on a flight, including injuring a passenger by throwing a full soda can at them

A group of six teenagers were detained after their unruly behavior onboard a flight from Cyprus to Israel last Thursday, Israeli media outlet Ynet first reported.
The TUS Airways flight was taxiing at Larnaca International Airport when one of the teens injured a fellow passenger by throwing a full soda can at her, according to the Israeli news website.
Another passenger told Ynet that, when the head flight attendant asked who threw the can, the teenagers just laughed at them, before the captain turned the plane around and called the police.
The unruly passengers then "yelled insults" at the crew and called them "snitches" — before trying to apologize to law enforcement, per Ynet.
Departure was delayed by 47 minutes, data from Flightradar24 shows. The delay is likely linked to the disruptive passengers.
Larnaca is the closest airport to the popular nightlife resort of Ayia Napa, but it is unclear whether the teenagers had visited the resort.
After being detained, they were held in custody before being released and then rebooked on a later flight, according to Simple Flying.
"We cannot tolerate such violence," a TUS Airways spokesperson told the outlet. "The safety of our passengers is our primary concern and in the rare event of such incidents on our flights, whether in the airport terminal or on board, TUS Airways has a zero-tolerance policy and when necessary, asked the disrupting passengers to leave the airport or disembark from the plane."
The airline and airport did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
