    A two-year-old boy was left scared after a boomer allegedly screamed in his face and pointed his finger at him while on an easyJet flight from Turkey to Manchester.

    According to the child’s mother, Sophie Bancroft, the engine noises began to upset her son, but not as much as what was about to happen.

    “The engines started up and Leo started crying, he was crying for a while and then a man in his 60s or 70s in the seat in front screamed in his face ‘shut up’ at the top of his voice,” Bancroft told NorthWalesLive. 

    “He was pointing in Leo’s face as well. I warned him to get out of Leo’s face.

    “I put my hand up and asked one of the staff if they could move us, but they said I’d have to wait 10 minutes. I told them that we couldn’t wait as the man was screaming at us.”

    Eventually, a couple offered to swap seats with Ms Bancroft and her son.

    “We had been on holiday before when he was seven months old, and we’d been to Turkey for two weeks this time,” Bancroft continued. 

    “I’m worried that the next time we go on holiday now, he’ll be terrified.”

    “Our crew are trained to assess any issues onboard and act appropriately to ensure our customer’s wellbeing and we are getting in touch with Ms Bancroft to understand more about her experience and offer further assistance,” an easyJet spokesperson said.
