CNN)A passenger who was filmed racially abusing an elderly woman on a European flight has been identified, UK police have said.
The man launched a furious tirade at 77-year-old Delsie Gayle, threatening to push her from her seat and saying: "Don't speak to me in a foreign language, you stupid ugly cow."
Spanish police are investigating the incident, which took place on a Ryanair flight departing from Barcelona to London's Stansted Airport on October 19.
On Tuesday, Essex Police said it had "worked to identify both parties involved in this incident." The force added that it had passed the information to the authorities in Spain.
Gayle's daughter Carol told UK broadcaster ITV on Tuesday that police had told her that "by Thursday they should be coming to mum for a statement."
The budget airline was criticized for allowing the man to keep his place on the flight, and moving Gayle to another seat.
The man launched the abuse after Gayle, who has arthritis, didn't stand up immediately to allow the man to pass her to his seat, Gayle's daughter told The Huffington Post.
"I don't care whether she's f***ing disabled or not -- if I tell her to get out she gets out," the man can be heard shouting.
"I will carry on as far as I can with this ugly black bastard," he screamed, also threatening to kick Gayle.
