A Delta pilot has been filmed smacking a woman after she got in a physical fight with another passenger.
A DELTA airlines pilot has been caught on camera smacking a female passenger in a bid to break up a violent brawl in front of stunned travellers.
The footage, released by TMZ and posted to YouTube appears to show the pilot trying to separate two women who got into a physical altercation on an airport boarding ramp shortly after the plane landed.
The pilot then grabs one of brawling women by the arm and hits her before walking away as the pair continue to wrestle on the ground.
The fight reportedly happened at Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta.
A clip of the incident was uploaded online on April 21 with the caption: “First thing I see when I arrive in Atlanta!”
At one point, the vision shows one of the fighters take the other woman to the ground and wrap her legs around her neck. It’s at this moment that the pilot intercepts the women, allegedly grabbing one fighter’s wrist and smacking her.

A second video showing a different angle was obtained by TMZ.
The celebrity and entertainment news website reported a Delta employee gave a supervisor the video almost immediately after the incident.
Delta employees were upset because security wasn’t called, it added.
The airline said it is investigating the incident and taking the video “very seriously”, although in a statement emailed to The Washington Post — a Delta spokesman has defended the pilot.
“We became aware of this incident and a video last week and immediately removed the pilot from duty while we completed a thorough investigation,” Spokesman Brian Kruse said.
“Local law enforcement was called to respond at the time of the incident. The pilot has since been returned to work as our investigation found that his actions de-escalated an altercation between passengers on the Jetway floor during deplaning.”
It is unclear whether the pilot will face any disciplinary action.

The latest plane drama comes after a Delta Airline passenger last week was kicked off a flight because he was desperate for the loo after waiting half an hour for takeoff.
Video shows Kima Hamilton’s “outrageous” clash with cabin crew, which ended with everyone on board being forced to leave the plane and a further two-hour delay.
Earlier this month, 69-year-old Dr David Dao was left battered and bloodied after he was dragged from a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky after the airline overbooked seats.
Video of the incident provoked rage across the world and at one point $1 billion was wiped off the company’s value.
The doctor received a financial settlement from United Airlines.
The troubled airline hit another blow after The Sun last week reported how three-foot Simon the rabbit appeared happy and healthy when he touched down at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport but was found dead a short time later.
It emerged the giant pet “froze to death” after he was accidentally left in a freezer for around 16 hours.
