Heated Exchange Over Wheelchair at Atlanta Airport Caught on Video

Intense scene on the jet bridge for a Delta Airlines flight … a passenger waiting for a wheelchair got into a vulgar verbal spat with an airport employee … and it’s all on video.

TMZ obtained footage from Monday’s explosive incident in Atlanta, showing an air traveler with crutches and his foot in a cast arguing with a woman from the airport’s wheelchair service … repeatedly calling her a “bitch.”

Folks who were there say the guy was upset with how long it was taking to get a wheelchair … and he started yelling.

We’re told this all happened after a Delta flight from Albany, NY to Atlanta … and cops spoke to the man once he got to the concourse but did not arrest him.

Honchos at Delta Airlines tell TMZ … “At minimum, Delta has no tolerance for unruly behavior.”
