A Southwest Airlines passenger was busted after going berserk at the airport, hurling racial slurs and insults at workers when they told her that her bag was too heavy.
Shocking video from inside the Indianapolis International Airport shows the moment mom Whitney Kayla Wyatt, 30, confronted the bag check-in staffer Sunday morning demanding she let her bag, which was five pounds too heavy, through, the Daily Mail reported.
When the black staff member and a white co-worker told her they couldn’t do that, Wyatt — who was accompanied by two children and a dog — began accosting the black employee.
“Go ahead and be a f—ing c-nt,” she said. “Stupid ass f—king n—-r ass bitch. I need to get on my flight.”
Wyatt then appeared to threaten legal action against the Southwest workers as she claimed to be an attorney.
“I work at a law firm, do not f—king come at me like that, don’t say ‘first of all.’ I am freaking out right now,” she yelled.
Wyatt appeared to be pleading with the staff about her situation, saying she needed to get on the flight after one of her kids was supposed to get “a very important surgery that he couldn’t have” but she immediately flung racial slurs when the workers denied her bag.
Following the encounter, police were called in to escort Wyatt away, giving her several warnings to stop her disorderly behavior, according to the police report.
Wyatt allegedly refused to do so and began resisting and hurling “obscenities” at the officers, who arrested her for disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement.
Penny Thomson, who posted the video on social media, said everyone was shocked by Wyatt’s tirade, which could be heard across the terminal as she continued screaming during her arrest.
“Wow! This is how some people act when they do not get their way,” Thomson wrote. “So impressed with the staff at Southwest. They kept it professional.
“What’s sad is her kids saw this and it didn’t even phase them,” she added.
Southwest Airlines declined The Post’s request for comment. A representative for Wyatt could not be immediately reached.
