Viral Video: Woman slaps husband on a flight over a mask

A woman slapped her husband after an anti-mask argument on board an Easyjet flight from Manchester to Tenerife.

A woman slapped her husband following a heated argument over a mask onboard an Easyjet flight from Manchester to Tenerife.

In the video, a passenger can be seen shouting at fellow travellers.

He was seen yelling at them to "fight back" and saying, "I'm serious, get them off, get them off" (the aircraft) as they were not wearing the mask.

But things quickly escalated when he shouted at his wife, saying: "Shut up you imbecile". She responded with a slap.

When he tried to retaliate, co-passengers were forced to intervene.

This the latest in a long line of stories in which passengers have been removed from flights for not following new rules that require them to wear face coverings.
