A toddler flying home from Turkey was terrified when a fellow passenger "screamed in his face", his mum claims.
Leo Bancroft, two, was upset by the sound of the engines on the easyJet flight to Manchester, with mum Sophie trying her best to comfort him.
But rather than being sympathetic, a man - believed to be in his 60s or 70s - told the baby to 'shut up' and pointed a finger in his face, it is claimed.
Sophie, from Rhyl, North Wales, said she warned the stranger to get away from her child during his verbal tirade.
Luckily, a nearby couple offered to switch seats to help settle the situation.
Sophie told NorthWalesLive: "The engines started up and Leo started crying, he was crying for a while and then a man in his 60s or 70s in the seat in front screamed in his face 'shut up' at the top of his voice."
Sophie added: "He was pointing in Leo's face as well. I warned him to get out of Leo's face.
"I put my hand up and asked one of the staff if they could move us but they said I'd have to wait 10 minutes. I told them that we couldn't wait as the man was screaming at us."
The situation was then resolved somewhat, thanks to the generosity of a nearby couple, she said. Sophie said: "Thankfully a couple sat behind us offered us their seats so we were very grateful for that.
"Leo was nearly sick he was crying so hard - he's only two years old.
"We had been on holiday before when he was seven months old and we'd been to Turkey for two weeks this time. I'm worried that the next time we go on holiday now, he'll be scared."
An easyJet spokesperson said: "We are very sorry to hear about Ms Bancroft and her son’s experience during their flight from Dalaman.
"Our crew are trained to assess any issues onboard and act appropriately to ensure our customer’s wellbeing and we are getting in touch with Ms Bancroft to understand more about her experience and offer further assistance."
