Vile footage shows man slap woman for refusing to give up seat at Colombian airport terminal: ‘Get up or I'll get you up'
The shocking scene went down Sunday night at Bogota's El Dorado International Airport, when Hector Santacruz walked up to Claudia Segura and demanded that he give up her seat, the Daily Mail reported.
Segura had apparently sat in the seat next to Santacruz's wife while he was away, and he became irate when she refused to give it up.
4 Wild footage showed an irate man slapping a woman in the face for refusing to give up her seat at an airport terminal.
'Get up or I'll get you up,' Santacruz said, according to local outlet El Tiempo.
He then turned to somebody and told them to make sure they were filming the altercation, and smacked Segura's phone out of her hand — then slapped her across the face.
'He hits me on the hand, knocks off my phone, and hits me hard in the face and head. The magnitude of the impact knocked my earring off,' she told El Tiempo.
Other travelers at the gate were audibly shocked — with several men leaping to Segura's defense and shoving Santacruz away.
More piled in as he tried to swat them away and shouted angrily, and his wife eventually leapt into the fray and tried to calm everybody down.
4 The shocking scene went down at Bogota's El Dorado International Airport on Sunday night.
Footage from minutes later showed Segura lying on the ground while airport staff tended to her injuries.
Santacruz was then led away in handcuffs by security as onlookers cheered and applauded.
Segura was later taken to an urgent care in town for treatment.
4 The Daily Mail reports that Hector Santacruz walked up to Claudia Segura and demanded that he give up her seat.
'I am affected and very afraid,' she said of her state of mind after the incident, adding that she only sat in the fateful seat because it appeared completely unattended.
'When I got to the waiting area, everything was completely full, and I only saw one empty chair,' she told El Tiempo.
'I didn't have any bags or clothes on me to indicate it was occupied, so I sat down.'
4 When Segura didn't leave her seat, Santacruz smacked her phone out of her hand before slapping the woman across the face.
Santacruz's wife, Karen, told her the seat was taken, but Segura was finishing a work call and stayed seated.
It remains unclear whether Santacruz is facing any charges.
But his wife is evidently livid.
'The person shown physically assaulting a woman is my husband. And you don't know how much it hurts me to say this out loud,' Karen said in an apology video posted to Instagram, according to the Daily Mail.
'It really hurts me as a woman, as a mother,' she added.

Former US soldier suspected of killing 4 in Montana remains at large
The victims ranged in age from 59 to 74 and were a female bartender and three male patrons. Knudsen warned residents in the town of just over 9,000 people that Brown, who lived next door to the bar where he was a regular, could come back to the area. Advertisement 'This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public,' Knudsen said. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Numerous public events were canceled over the weekend as the search entered its third day, according to local Facebook pages. Investigators are considering all possible options for Brown's whereabouts, the attorney general said. That includes searching the woods where Brown hunted and camped while he was a kid. But Knudsen noted that, during peak tourist season in western Montana, some law enforcement officials would have to return to their local jurisdictions for their regular responsibilities. Brown served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005 and deployed to Iraq from early 2004 until March 2005, according to Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, an Army spokesperson. Brown was in the Montana National Guard from 2006 to March 2009, Castro said, and left military service at the rank of sergeant. Advertisement Brown's niece, Clare Boyle, told the AP her uncle has struggled with mental illness for years and she and other family members repeatedly sought help. 'This isn't just a drunk/high man going wild,' she said in a Facebook message. 'It's a sick man who doesn't know who he is sometimes and frequently doesn't know where or when he is either.' Knudsen said on Sunday that Brown was 'known' to local law enforcement before the shooting. It was widely believed that he knew at least some of the victims, given how close he lived to the bar. Law enforcement released a photograph of Brown from surveillance footage taken shortly after the fatal shootings. He appeared to be barefoot and in minimal clothing. But law enforcement now believes Brown ditched the vehicle he escaped in and stole a different one that had camping gear, shoes and clothes in it — leaving open the possibility that Brown is now clothed. The last time that law enforcement saw Brown was on Friday afternoon, but there was 'some confusion' because there were multiple white vehicles involved, Knudsen said. There is a $7,500 reward for any information that leads to Brown's capture. 'This is still Montana. Montanans know how to take care of themselves. But please, if you have any sightings, call 911,' Knudsen said.
