London (CNN)A man whose foul-mouthed outburst onboard a budget European flight made headlines around the world has apologized, saying he is not a racist.
Millions of people have now watched the online footage of David Mesher branding a 77-year-old woman an “ugly black b*****d” and shouting: “Don’t speak to me in a foreign language, you stupid ugly cow.”
Mesher, who has been questioned by police over the incident on a Ryanair flight from Barcelona to London Stansted Airport on October 19, blamed the outburst on a “fit of temper.”
