A white man on a Spirit Airlines flight threatened to rip off a black woman’s wig during an onboard argument.
The disturbing threat was captured on video by other passengers who began filming as they attempted to disembark the plane.
In the footage, a woman was waiting in the hallway when a man wearing a green polo shirt told her: “You’re lucky to be a woman.”
When the woman asked if he was looking for a “catfight,” the man replied, “Listen, relax before I take off your toupee… your wig.”
The comment sparked outrage among fellow passengers and the woman herself, who said: “You will not touch me.”
The footage shows the woman criticising the man’s smell, telling him that he “smells like the toxins he consumes.” In the video, the man leaned over the aisle and began breathing in her face.
Another passenger yelled at the man to leave her alone.

The man seemed annoyed that the woman was waiting in the aisle to disembark the plane instead of remaining in her seat.
“We can walk,” he said. “Nobody said we couldn’t walk.”
He replied: Where are you walking to?
She said, ‘I’m here… on business.’
