Airport worker punches Easyjet passenger holding a baby

Europe's budget airline EasyJet flew into a storm, after it emerged a member of the ground staff at Nice airport in France, punched one of its passengers in the face while he was holding a baby.

"We had a serious problem with someone of staff from our subcontractor Samsic," Jean-Francois Guitard, a director at Nice airport told CNN.

"EasyJet is very concerned to see this picture and can confirm the person in the photo is not an EasyJet member of staff and they do not work for EasyJet's ground handling agents in Nice," the airline said in a statement.

"We are urgently taking this up with Nice Airport and their special assistance provider Samsic who we understand the person photographed works for. Passengers were provided with updates and refreshment vouchers during this time and the flight landed in London Luton last night," the airline said.
