Woman caught on camera slapping airport staff

I'm pretty sure most of us have been in the situation where we run late for a flight?

I've been stuck in traffic before and literally got to the check in and the flight had JUST closed.

Hugely frustrating - yes, but it's not an airline employees fault if you're late and the flight needs to depart.

A woman attacked a member of Stansted Airport staff after she was late for her flight and was told her gate had closed.

As the airport employee explained to the woman that she couldn't board her flight to Athens, the irate passenger slapped the woman in the face - and the footage is spreading across social media like wild fire.
