A furious passenger was caught on camera having a meltdown at Kansas City International Airport as it remained on lockdown due to a bomb threat Wednesday.

The unidentified man began his foul-mouthed tirade while confronting a Southwest Airlines employee at a gate for a flight to Denver at around 11.30am. 

'I'm from the UK, n****,' he could be heard saying as he started harassing the female employee.

He then places his hand on the woman's computer screen, to which she tells him, 'Get your hand away from me.'

When the employee then threatened to call police on the passenger, he lashed out, shouting: 'I don't give a f*** about getting arrested, b****!

'I'll still smack your b*** a**,' he added. 

As the tirade continued, a male employee could be seen trying to put some distance between his female colleague and the irate passenger. 

The man just leaned over the counter and warns her: 'This counter ain't saving you!'

An irate passenger was caught on camera threatening a Southwest employee at Kansas City International Airport on Monday

The situation  escalated when a man in a baseball cap approached the angry passenger, who seemed to want to challenge him, calling him a 'soft bitch, like your woman'

'If I wanted to, I would have got your b**** a** already,' he said, pointing at the female employee.

At that point, the employee could be seen apparently trying to grab her phone to call police on the man, prompting him to angrily try to get behind the counter.

Fellow passengers then decided to intervene, placing themselves between him and the woman as he continued to yell threats. 

Some could even be seen trying to calm him down as he complained, 'I've been here since 5.30.' 

But the situation only escalated when a man in a baseball cap approached the angry passenger, who seemed to want to challenge him, calling him a 'soft b***, like your woman.'

Meanwhile, the woman filming the entire incident told the unruly passenger to 'shut up.'

'Or what b***?' he said, directing his attention to her.

The unidentified man's tirade came amid an investigation into a bomb threat that temporarily disrupted operations at the Kansas City International Airport (pictured) on Wednesday

He then continued to lob insults at the man in the hat as another man tried to hold him back.

'N****, that's why you getting cheated on,' the furious passenger taunted as he stepped onto some chairs.
