Footage shows the pilot trying to break up two brawling women who got into a fight after the plane landed
THIS is the shocking moment a Delta pilot was caught on camera smacking a female passenger in a bid to break up a violent brawl in front of stunned travellers.
Footage posted on YouTube appears to show the pilot trying to separate two women who got into a physical altercation on an airport jet bridge shortly after the plane landed.
He then grabs one of brawling women by the arm and hits her before walking away as the pair continue to wrestle on the ground.
The fight reportedly happened Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta.
A clip of the incident was uploaded online on April 21 with the caption: "First thing I see when I arrive in Atlanta!"
The celebrity and entertainment news website reported a Delta employee gave a supervisor the video almost immediately after the incident.
Delta employees were upset because security wasn't called, it added.
The airline said it is investigating the incident and taking the video "very seriously".
The Sun Online has contacted Delta Airline for comment.
The latest plane drama comes after a Delta Airline passenger last week was kicked off a flight because he was desperate for the loo after waiting half an hour for take-off.
Video shows Kima Hamilton’s “outrageous” clash with cabin crew, which ended with everyone on board being forced to leave the plane and a further two-hour delay.
Earlier this month, 69-year-old Dr David Dao was left battered and bloodied after he was dragged from a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky after the airline overbooked seats.
Video of the incident provoked rage across the world and at one point $1billion was wiped off the company's value.
The doctor received a financial settlement from United Airlines.
The troubled airline hit another blow after The Sun last week reported how three-foot Simon the rabbit appeared happy and healthy when he touched down at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport but was found dead a short time later.
It emerged the giant pet "froze to death" after he was accidentally left in a freezer for around 16 hours.
