+CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: VIDEO CONTAINS MULTIPLE SWEAR WORDS+

A furious Muslim plane passenger branded an air hostess a "stupid f***ing b****" after his turkey baguette was labelled as ham.

The middle-aged cabbie from Hampstead in north London was flying from Skopje in Macedonia to Luton Airport on Sunday morning when he ordered the 4.50 euro roll and a bottle of water.

But mid-way through eating the turkey ham sandwich he said it "didn’t taste like turkey" - and flew into a rage when he saw the packaging labelled with the word ham.

He called over the Wizz Air stewardess and went on a furious rant - branding her a ''stupid, f****** b****" and "f****** slut'' and demanding a refund, after becoming convinced the product contained pork - explaining that he cannot eat it due to his religion.

He’s heard saying: ''I work in restaurants, I know what's ham. Ham is pork. It's not tasting like turkey, it's tasting like ham.

''This is not right, you should tell people there is pork, I'm a Muslim. It's pork, darling. What the f*** if your problem, stupid f****** b***? She's a f******* b**** man. She told me it's not appropriate to touch my teeth, f****** slut.

''You have given me ham, and you're talking to me rude. I just tell you it's ham, you tell me it's not pork. It's not nice, darling, you're supposed to be nice to the customers. Take the water, too. I don't want the water either. You are being very, very rude.''

The man appears to have incorrectly believed that turkey ham is a pig product - which would make it a violation of his Muslim beliefs.
Even when a senior male steward appeared and tried to calm the situation by explaining that turkey ham was, in fact, a term used to describe the processed meat, the irate passenger continued his outburst.

The cabin crew eventually refunded the man 4.50 euros for the sandwich and two euros for the bottle of the water, which he kept.

The bizarre scene was captured by a passenger sitting in the aisle seat next to the man. They described it as ''quite surreal''.

They added: ''He was getting increasingly angry. I was a bit concerned when his voice was raised and he was swearing.

''He was sure that this roll contained pork. He said he couldn’t eat pork because of his religion.

''I suspect it was just a bad-tasting processed sandwich rather than a ham sandwich with pork inside. Nobody could convince him otherwise.''

The Kosovan, who moved to the UK almost two decades ago and lives in Hampstead Heath, said afterwards: ''I’m an Uber driver in London, I eat at the shops all the time. I know the taste of turkey and the roll didn't taste like turkey.

''She should have respected me and my religion. The customer is always right. She’s lucky. If this wasn’t here with people around I would have been more angry.''

Wizz Air have been contacted for comment.
