A screaming plane passenger caused a one-hour flight delay after allegedly refusing to fasten her seatbelt.

Cabin crew members were carrying out a safety check prior to take-off when they spotted a woman without hers on.

The passenger, reportedly a Vietnamese national, was travelling with her young child at the time.

When the flight attendant asked her to put her belt on, the woman allegedly started to protest.

The Batik Air flight was scheduled to travel from Vietnam to Malaysia but ended up being delayed by around an hour.

A clip of the incident shows the woman shouting at the attendant as other passengers film the argument with their phones.

The cabin crew member says: “Stop yelling at me.”

The passenger replies: “You’re pointing in my face.”

The attendant stresses: “This is for safety purposes, not just for you, but also for your child.”

The woman says: “I don’t care, I don’t have to listen to you.”

According to witnesses, the row caused a delay of around one hour.

In the end, police officers had to board the Boeing 737, and the unruly passenger was escorted off the plane.

The other travellers cheered as she left the aircraft, as reported by Need To Know.

One local said: “Respect for the flight attendant, luckily it wasn’t me who had to face her.”

Another added: “If the woman doesn’t want to wear a seatbelt, it’s up to her, the risk is on her.”

A third said: “Not if the plane goes through turbulence, she will be tossed around like she’s in a washing machine, falling on other passengers and injuring them.”

Leo added: “I wish that passenger could see this video, how embarrassing.”
