Shocking moment drunk passenger launches racist attack on black airline worker by slapping, punching and kicking him

A surveillance video shows the disturbing moment an unruly, drunken passenger attacked an airline worker on Sunday.

Luana Otoni got into an argument with an Azul Brazilian Airlines operations manager after she was told she could not board the flight at Belo Horizonte International Airport.

The 39-year-old lawyer showed the gate agent her boarding pass and fell to the ground while approaching the airplane, according to a police report.

One of the workers who aided Otoni filed a report indicating that she showed signs that she was drunk and was then told to disembark from the plane by the airline manager.

Otoni was explained that she was being removed from the airplane due to civil aviation guidelines and was told that she would have to take a different flight.

Luana Otoni, a 39-year-old lawyer, was caught on video assaulting a Black man, who is an Azul Brazilian Airlines operations manager, after she was removed from an airplane because of unruly behavior at Belo Horizonte International Airport in Confins, Brazil on Sunday 

Luana Otoni was still under arrest as of Monday, a day after she assaulted an operations manager for Azul Brazilian Airlines because she was not allowed to remain on a flight because she was being rude to the staff

She became upset when the manager took her belongings out of the airplane and verbally assaulted him, telling him he was 'monkey, a bum, an idiot and a piece of s***.'

At one point, Otoni made fun of the victim's line of work and told him, 'You're happy to have a preppy girl off the plane' 

Video footage showed her repeatedly slapping, punching and kicking the worker while a male employee failed to restrain her.

Otoni was interrogated by cops on the scene and said that she respected the employee's instructions and that she tripped as she was walking into the airplane.
