EasyJet says it's "urgently" seeking answers from Nice Airport over claims a member of staff punched a man holding a baby.

The airline's responded to a picture posted online of what happened as passengers waited for a delayed flight to Luton.

EasyJet blamed a "technical issue with the aircraft" for the delay yesterday.

Twitter user Arabella Arkwright posted the photo on the social media site:

It's been revealed that the man was an airport employee and not an EasyJet employee.
