EasyJet passenger hurls homophobic abuse at staff before dramatic punch-up

A British man was filmed launching a homophobic tirade at EasyJet staff before being punched in the face by an airport worker.

The incident happened at Manchester Airport while passengers queued to enter the aircraft heading to the island of Crete in Greece.

Footage shared on TikTok – which has racked up six million views – shows the man terrorising staff, which eventually results in a punch-up.

He is seen jumping up and down in a tantrum-like behaviour and lungingtowards crew as other passengers are forced to pull him back.

EasyJet said he was denied boarding for being ‘disruptive and aggressive’, which led to the violent outburst. 

As one of the flight attendants tries to calm him down, he shouts: ‘You’re a rip-off artist, you’re a f***** – I’ll knock your f***ing hat off.

A screengrab of the beginning of the outburst
The passenger, dressed in grey shorts and jacket, was filmed shouting at crew

‘Come on then, are we gonna have a little f***ing scrap or what you f***ing f*****, you little k***head.’

The attendant calmly asks him: ‘Can you stay here for a few minutes, sir?’

But this appears to rattle him even more and he responds: ‘You f***ing little k***head, I’ve paid for the flight.’

The video then cuts to a fight with an airport worker as the man complains about paying ‘£300-400’ for the flight only to be barred it.

He is see lunging forward once more as he shouts: ‘What the f*** are you gonna do?’ 

The moment of the punch-up
This is the moment one of the airport staff swung his fist at the man

It is then that the airport worker in a hi-vis vest appears to take a swing at the passenger.

To avoid a further escalation, the staff member is ushered away as other crew attempt to hold the man back.

Eventually, he redirects his rage towards fellow passengers, waving his fists around and threatening to hit them.

He shouts: ‘You can stop f***ing staring at me, you little f***ing k***head. Keep staring at me.

‘Who do you keep staring at? Who are you saying shush to?’   

Shocking moment British passenger screams homophobic abuse at airline staff and threatens other passengers for 'staring at him' before getting PUNCHED by airport worker
People at the scene were forced to pull them two apart to prevent further disaster

Police were called to the scene of the incident, which took place on August 20 last year.

The man, who has not been named, was banned from travelling on the flight.

An easyJet spokesperson told Metro: ‘This flight on August 20 last year from Manchester to Chania was attended by police before departure due to a passenger behaving disruptively during boarding.

‘Police attended the aircraft and the customer was not allowed to travel.

‘EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly to ensure that the safety of the flight is not compromised at any time.

‘We will not tolerate disruptive or aggressive behaviour towards our crew or other passengers.’
