Passenger hits air stewardess in the face after she slapped him for shouting and spitting at her

A totally aggressive passenger hits a female flight attendant in the face after she slapped him for screaming and spitting at her. 

A shocking moment was captured in a two-minute video posted online. A heated exchange started with the furious passenger aboard the Brussels Airline flight could be seen yelling at a make flight attendant who is trying to stop him. 

The man allegedly got angry after Brussel Airline attendants refused to help his mother in law who was being "elbowed" by two men.

"You don’t put your hands on me!" he shouted. "Calm down!" the male flight attendant said repeatedly in response. The video was filmed by his wife who heard screaming.

The passenger then threatened to “beat the s**t out of” the flight attendant whilst his spouse started yelling that the steward had hit the passenger first and others attempt to separate them.

The passenger's wife then started recording after she stated the male flight attendant punched her husband.

In the midst of the chaos, the flight attendant's supervisor, a woman in red uniform, appeared to try and de-escalate the situation but was told to "shut the f*** up!" by the passenger.

She responds, pointing her finger in his face, saying: “You listen, and you calm down.”

Then the wife was 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.

The husband told the supervisor: "He hit me!".

The wife says: "You saw him, and I’m recording."

Throughout the film, other passengers are filmed looking awkward and embarrassed as the man moves into the aisle.

At this point, at least two other flight attendants and other passengers approach the man and appear to be trying to calm the situation.

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.
