In the video, a man (left) grew irate after he claimed he was assaulted by another flight attendant
After the man inched closer to the female supervisor and yelled, she appeared to hit him. In response, the man struck her across the face
The passenger then threatened to ‘beat the s**t out of’ the flight attendant while his wife began yelling that the steward had hit the passenger first.
According to unconfirmed reports online, the altercation was triggered when the passenger wanted to report that his mother was being assaulted by the person seated next to her.
The passenger’s wife then started recording after she said the male flight attendant punched her husband.
In the midst of the chaos, the flight attendant’s supervisor, a woman wearing a red uniform, appeared to try and calm the situation but was told to ‘shut the f*** up!’ by the passenger.
She responds, saying: ‘You listen, and you calm down.’
The wife is then heard saying: ‘All he had to do was help.’
When the female supervisor then threatened to call the police, the wife and husband claimed that it was the flight attendant who escalated the situation by touching him.
‘He hit me!’ the husband told the supervisor.
‘You saw him, and I’m recording!’ the wife is heard saying.
At this point, at least two other flight attendants approach the man and appear to be trying to calm the situation.
The female supervisor then threatens the husband that he would ‘get in trouble.’
During a tense exchange, the flight attendant tried to calm the man down, but was unable to. The man then got closer to the flight attendant, who tried to push him away
The flight attendant is alleged to have pushed the man after he and his wife complained that another passenger assaulted the man’s mother
The tense conversation then spun out of control as the man grew angrier, claiming he was hit by the male flight attendant
After the man slapped the female supervisor across the face, another flight attendant intervened to restrain the man
As the husband and supervisor went back and forth, the wife is heard saying: ‘This is not illegal. This is my right.’
The man began yelling louder while inching closer to the supervisor’s face.
At one point the supervisor pauses to wipe away spit from the passenger off her cheek. The supervisor then hit the husband in the face.
The man responded by striking her hard in the face.
At this point, at least one other passenger intervenes and restrains the husband while the wife yells uncontrollably in the background and continues recording.
‘Get the f*** off of him!’ the wife is heard saying before the clip ends.
On social media, there are claims that this took place on a Brussels Airline flight.
