Shocking moment male airline pilot punches female co-worker ex outside passenger plane

THIS is the sickening moment a male airline pilot punches a female co-worker ex outside a passenger plane.

Leaked CCTV footage shows the Republic Airways staffer William Thomas, 36, throw two brutal punches at Marisha Sporer, 29.

The clip – obtained by air travel site FlyerTalk – was filmed on September 14 shortly after the flight landed at Denver Airport.

Both Thomas and Sporer had been in an intimate relationship – but had just broken up, TMZ reported.

A row broke out between the two over something Sporer saw on Thomas’, according to ABC News.

During the layover stop, Thomas is filmed walking towards the aircraft along the jet bridge.

He is then seen making a sudden turn to face Sporer standing outside the aircraft door.

After making a gesture towards her, Sporer reacts by slapping steward Thomas in the face.

In a fit of rage, Thomas then swings two punches at the woman – connecting with both jabs.

One punch lands on Sporer’s stomach while the second hits the side of her head.

She is then seen clutching her ribs and head as she reaches for a mobile phone.

An arrest affidavit said: “Sporer became angry and went onto the plane to confront Thomas.
