A husband was knocked out in one punch after his bikini-clad wife allegedly used racial slurs and attacked a black man who was served ahead of them in a hotel lobby queue in Rio de Janerio.
The white couple were vacationing at the Rio Hilton hotel, and started the fight on December 30, according to eyewitnesses.
Footage from the scene shows the black man speaking to a receptionist while a clearly angry white woman – in nothing but a bikini – is restrained by hotel staff.
Allegedly, the couple were upset that the man was served before them. He is said to have been a diamond Hilton member, giving him priority over other guests.

The video was filmed by what sounds like an American man – who is not shown – giving commentary.
The footage starts with him telling hotel staff ‘you haven’t deescalated the situation, because they’re still talking. You’re supposed to separate the parties.’
The man at reception is heard arguing with the couple, when the woman breaks through a small crowd to reach him and slap him with both hands. In response, he pushes her back as members of staff attempt to pull her away from him.
As she is pulled back, the man takes a step forward and launches a brutal fist at the women’s partner, who instantly falls to the floor – knocked out cold.
‘Oh my god,’ the person filming is heard saying. ‘He did it! It’s all on camera. This is all on camera, he touched him. She touched him. It’s all on camera.’

The woman continues to struggle against those holding her back, shouting at the man who threw the punch while trying to keep her purse from falling down.
Other hotel staff members gather around the man unconscious on the floor, checking on his condition.
‘He’s out, my boy,’ an unknown bystander says close to the camera.
‘They didn’t deescalate the situation by moving the parties away. They still let her be right there,’ the person filming says.
The unconscious man’s partner takes a moment to check on him, before she continues her furious attempts to attack the man at reception.
‘Get her! Get her!’ the cameraman shouts. ‘Where is your security? Get her under control, oh my god. I don’t understand this. This is crazy. Where is your security?’

At this point in the footage, the man who threw the punch is asked to move away from reception and is taken into another room out of shot.
The man on the floor begins to wake up, and is helped by members of staff.
‘This is unacceptable,’ the cameraman says, as the woman starts angrily advancing towards him instead. ‘You still haven’t restrained her.
‘Don’t come over here baby girl,’ the man filming says. ‘Baby girl, I’m not him,’ he tells her, suggesting the woman thinks he is the one who punched her partner.
In a second video recorded by the same person, the woman is shown again in the lobby in her bikini, attempting to slap one of the staff members away.
She yells at the man with the camera, before furiously pointing at him.

‘Her and husband were yelling at him when I came off the elevator. When I saw the hotel staff just walking around looking lost and then I heard her use racist slurs,’ The filmer told Newsflare after the incident.
‘[That] is when I pulled out my phone to record because it wasn’t right that the hotel allowed her to keep getting In his face… even after she tried to attack me.’
The footage does not show the couple saying anything racist.
The video went viral on Twitter, racking up over 900,000 views. It is unknown what happened to those involved after the incident, or if anyone was arrested.
