A two-year-old boy was "almost sick from crying" after a passenger "screamed in his face" onboard an easyJet flight, his mum claims.
Little Leo was travelling with his mum Sophie from Turkey to Manchester when he became upset due to the loud noise of the engines, according to North Wales Live. As Sophie tried to calm him, an older male passenger - believed to in his 60s or 70s - launched a verbal tirade against the tearful toddler.
The mum, from Rhys, said: "The engines started up and Leo started crying, he was crying for a while and then a man in the seat in front screamed in his face 'shut up' at the top of his voice. 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."
Following the man's outburst, a kindhearted couple nearby offered to swap seats with Sophie and Leo.
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."
