A split second later, the woman pushed his mobile phone out of his hand before he sent her flying in retaliation.

The man, of muscular build and wearing a red t-shirt and cut-off shorts, shoved her with such force the much smaller woman fell to the ground.

But determined to keep hold of the suitcase, the woman managed to get back to her feet and clutched hold of it.

Moments later, the angered boyfriend violently grabbed the case and pulled it back.

The girlfriend, wearing a summer dress, is then flung to the floor for a second time.   

After her head is seen hitting the pavement, airport workers suddenly leaped into action to intervene. 

As the recording ends, members of staff can be seen running towards the pair. 

The footage is thought to have been filmed at the airport in Aruba on Sunday.  

A woman posted the shocking clip to Facebook where she described the horror at watching the incident unfold.

It was quickly viewed thousands of times with dozens of people commenting beneath in the native language of Papiamentu.

One person wrote: ‘What is this world coming to?’ 

While another blasted the decision to film without intervening: ‘How can you sit and record but not to take action or shout “stop”?’
