THIS is the shocking moment a passenger screams and spits at a another traveller before being handcuffed and escorted off the plane.

Leanna Perry, 32, was charged with aggravated assault after throwing a fit and pulling a woman’s hair on a Southwest Airlines flight on Tuesday.

Footage from inside the plane at La Guardia airport shows the Brooklyn-based illustration artist launching her verbal assault at a fellow passenger.

Several passengers and airline staff are seen trying to calm the passenger down as she grabs another woman’s hair and calls her a “fat a** b****.”

She is then heard shouting: “Ugly a** bitch,” and “Your boyfriend’s d–k is like 2 inches big. It’s embarrassing. I’m so sorry about your boyfriend.”

The artist then cries out she “can’t breathe” whilst members of staff try and restrain her by zip-tying her hands behind her back.

She is then captured screaming “F**k you!”as one flyer pleads “Can anybody do something, please?”

The Brooklyn-based illustration artist was escorted off the plane in a gurney and taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated assault, the Port Authority Police Department said.

Leanna is an established creator in New York, having worked for brands such as Maybelline, MAC, and SHEIN, the Mail Online reports.

According to the paper, she is also well acquainted with the NYC fashion scene and has been spotted at several runway shows and events.

Hailing from the small midwest city of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Leanne also counts fashion designers Betsey Johnson and Nicole Miller in her client portfolio.

She also reportedly started a job at makeup giant Maybelline, New York.

Port Authority Police told the Post they “responded to a report of an intoxicated passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight at Terminal B of LaGuardia Airport.”

A Southwest Airlines spokesperson said: “The Customer involved in the incident was removed from the flight and denied boarding,

“We commend our Team for their professionalism during the incident.”

This isn’t the first time a passenger has been escorted off a flight for causing a nuissance.

Earlier this month, cabin footage showed the shocking moment a drunk man was thrown off a flight for vomiting on another passenger.

The ordeal took place on an EVA Air flight from Taiwan to Austria – a gruelling 13-hour journey – and was recorded by another passenger.

In the video, the boozed up man is seen hunched over the seat in front of him.

Desperate flight attendants attempt to pull him out of his seat but the man does not move an inch.

A security guard in a high vis jackets is even seen next to the man before crew try to lift him up again.
