A British tourist has been filmed attacking a market trader in Morocco as she tries to free his caged hens.
The unidentified young woman, who appeared to speak with a southern English accent, was caught on camera launching a foul-mouthed rant at merchants calling them educated and illiterate.
She can be heard saying: "Are you all that uneducated? You can't read, you can't read can you? You can't f ** read. Are you that f ** thick, you dumb c***?"
She turns to the person filming and calls him a "dumb f ** c***" and sticks her middle fingers up at the camera.
She then climbs onto one of the chicken crates and tries to pry it open. As the merchant holds the hatch closed, she appears to bite his hand and screams "get off".
She continues to tear at the plastic lid and at the man's fingers while screaming at him.
Further clips show her throwing punches and shoving members of the public as they try to calm her down, telling them: "You don’t treat animals like that."
She was eventually detained by the crowd and handed over to the police.
But after the chicken vendor chose not to press charges, she was taken to hospital - according to Le Site Info.
The incident, thought to have happened in the last week in the city of Tangier, has caused outrage in Morocco. Some have accused her of white privilege and attempting to impose her Western views on another culture.
The footage filmed by an onlooker has been viewed more than 425,000 times on social media.
Some social media users called the woman "disrespectful” as she was a guest in another country.
One said: "Go push your cultural beliefs in your own country, stay away if you don't like it."
Another wrote: "Even if they let her free the chickens, what does she think will happen? They'll just roam freely in the city?"
A third added: "On behalf of the sane British public, I apologise for this simply atrocious behaviour."
