The row began when the woman, who was travelling in a large party, got angry because meals for children had not been prepared in advance.

This sparked an altercation with cabin crew, leading to orange juice being thrown.

A police report said: “Personnel arrived at the scene, and the victim was not hurt.”

The woman was arrested on suspicion of common assault, the report continued.

A Cathay Pacific spokeswoman said: “A passenger caused an incident this morning on flight CX746 from Dubai to Hong Kong, and a case has been submitted to the police, therefore I am unable to provide more information.”
