He refuses again, adding: 'I haven’t done anything wrong. Ask her to go to the back. What did I do? I’m sleeping.'
The woman then threatens the stewards with legal action if they do not move him anyway, saying: 'I’m going to report this to the airline if you guys don’t do anything.
'He just punched me. I’m a lawyer and I will sue you guys if you don’t do anything. He just hit me with his elbow and everyone has seen it.'
Fliers can then be heard giggling at the pair's back and forth, with one person heard saying: 'Everyone’s a lawyer today'.
