WATCH: Angry passenger reduces airport staff member to tears

A video of an airline passenger reducing a member of staff to tears has been gaining a lot of traction online today.

The footage, taken on a mobile phone, shows an irate customer heckling a woman at the check-in desk in Brussels Airport until she begins to cry.

The argument seems to be over the payment of €50, as the customer didn’t display a boarding pass.

“You’re complete, total – what are you being? What are you being right now?” he begins while calling her by name.

“You tell me I have to pay 50 euros for a flight I’m already checked in on.

“I told you I didn’t come through the departure hall because I came on a connecting flight so I have to come directly here”.

He continues to accuse her of showing a bad example to the trainee staff.

A fellow passenger proceeds to step in and defend her but he is then quickly told to lose some weight, get on a treadmill and go run a lap by the infuriated customer.

“Get on a treadmill man, go run a lap, go a diet, baldy - who are you man? You’re nothing”.

This is when she begins to cry and he continues to harass her.

“Oh now you’re now having an emotional breakdown?”
