Airline staff were slapped, yelled at and had food thrown at them during the ordeal.
THREE plane passengers have been arrested after violently attacking ground crew over a delayed flight.
Shocking footage from Huanghua International Airport in Changsha captured the moment a dissatisfied woman threw the contents of her meal box at a member of Capital Airlines’ ground crew, causing the woman to burst into tears, The Sun reports.
Two other men are seen attacking the flight attendants, one of whom takes a slap to the face from a man in a striped T-shirt who says: “Yes, I’m hitting you. So what?”
The violence is said to have started after Flight JD5766 was grounded due to bad weather, leaving passengers heading to the city of Sanya stranded at the airport.
