THIS sickening footage shows a Ryanair passenger unleashing a vile torrent of racist abuse at an elderly woman sitting next to him.

The disturbing video shows a white man directing horrific bile towards a black woman sitting one seat apart from him as other passengers board the plane from Barcelona to London Stansted.

The bully is seen prodding the empty space between them, shouting at crew to “put her in another seat”.

A passenger sitting behind them then leans over them to try to intervene, telling him to keep his voice down and adding: “There’s no need for that at all, just stop.”

Others also join the fray, with one telling cabin crew: “You have to move this lady” and to “Throw him off the flight, get rid of him.”

Finally a cabin crew member approaches the man, telling him to “calm down” before the terrified woman is led to a different seat.

Tens of thousands of people have viewed the row after fellow passenger David Lawrence filmed the dispute on flight FR9015 on Friday afternoon.

The victim’s daughter revealed to the HuffPost UK that the dispute started because her mother’s arthritis meant it took some time to move out of the way for the man to reach the window seat.

She had taken her mum, a Windrush Generation migrant who came to the UK from Jamaica in the 1960s, on a holiday to mark the one year anniversary since her father’s passing.

“My parents were married over 50 years,” she said. “She’s been feeling really down and depressed, so I thought the trip would raise her spirits.”

The 53-year-old added: “I know that if I was behaving like he was or any other black person for that matter, police would have been called and we would have been kicked off the flight.”
