Coronavirus: Crew pepper spray frustrated cruise ship passengers as brawl erupts

Passengers onboard the MSC Meraviglia cheered as security officers used pepper spray to stop a fight which broke out after the ship was denied permission to dock in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands over coronavirus fears
Cruise ship crew members pepper sprayed brawling passengers after anger boiled over about being 'locked' onboard the vessel over coronavirus fears, a report says.

Staff on the MSC Meraviglia were filmed grappling with the guests in the liner's dining hall.

Blanca Haddad, who recorded the footage, claims it shows crew members using pepper spray against those involved in the scrap.

The ship was turned away by the authorities in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands over fears that people onboard were infected with coronavirus.

However, Mexico reportedly allowed the vessel to dock and doctors confirmed a female guest and a crew member who were suspected of having the disease actually had the flu.
