This is the moment an easyJet passenger refusing to wear a face mask gets slapped by his wife as his foul-mouthed tirade sparks a massive bust-up with other holidaymakers.
Shocking footage shows a man going on a rant against face coverings and calling his wife an ‘imbecile’ during a flight from Manchester to Tenerife on September 6.
Towards the start of the clip, the passenger is heard saying: ‘You’re all being lied to, the longer you wear them masks, the longer this goes on.
‘I tell you what, God help you, the longer you wear those masks, God help you.’
He continues: ‘I’m serious, get them off, get them off’, before shouting: ‘Fight back’.
The man tells his wife: ‘Shut up you f***ing imbecile’ before she is heard slapping him.
He is then said to have retaliated to the slap, before others jump to the woman’s aid with one heard asking him: ‘What are you doing?’
Speaking aside to another member of the public, a passenger says: ‘Get the woman away. Get her away.’
After the man is called a ‘coward’, he responds: ‘I’ll fight you lad, I’ll smash your f***ing face in.’
The airline confirmed that police attended the flight due to a passenger ‘behaving disruptively onboard and refusing to wear their face mask’.
Flight attendants can be seen intervening towards the end of the video, telling passengers to sit down while the plane makes its landing.
