Airline Passenger Verbally Abuses Flight Attendant, Threatens To 'Chop Off' Her Head In Video

A Thomas Cook passenger was thrown off a flight from Gran Canaria, Spain, to London on Monday night after he went on a rant and threatened to cut off an attendant’s head.

A video of the incident obtained by Mail Online showed the man screaming at a female companion as well as the cabin crew. In the video, the unruly passenger can be seen standing in the aisle with a number of people surrounding him. He then shouts that he “wants to go home.” A woman replies, “You’re not going home on this aircraft."

His female companion then tries to calm him down by saying, “Calm down, you're not helping anything are you.”

The man instead gets more violent and tells her “You don't f------ help, do you? You f----- started it all.”

Just then, a female flight attendant crouches down by the man's seat and tries to pacify him. This, however, backfires as he threatens to “chop your f----- head off.”

The attendant then reprimands him for his behavior, saying, “Talk to me nicely, I don't come to work to be talked to like that.”

The passenger apologizes, however, moments later he launches another outburst following which a flight attendant asks him to go to the back of the plane.

He, however, refuses and says, “I’m not going nowhere. I paid for my f------ flight, mate."

The passenger eventually gets up from the seat and walks toward the front of the plane. He was then removed from the plane. The reason behind the outburst was not known.

A co-traveler, who filmed the incident, told Mail Online, “The man eventually got kicked off the flight while his partner of some sort stayed on board.”

Confirming the incident, a Thomas Cook spokeswoman said, “The safety of our customers and crew is always our first priority. Following disruptive behavior from a passenger onboard flight MT1069, police were called to the aircraft and removed a passenger before leaving Gran Canaria yesterday. We will not tolerate any form of abusive behavior on board Thomas Cook Airlines.”
