A woman got violent with an older man who refused to wear his mask on a plane—to the point where she actually punched him and spit on him … which got her in hot water.

This girl's name is said to be Patricia Cornwall, and she was flying on Delta from Tampa to Atlanta on Thursday—when at some point during the trip she went off on an old guy ... apparently because he wouldn't put on his face covering while eating and drinking.

At least … that's what he says in this insane video that shows Cornwall getting in his face while she stands over him, eventually punching him at least once.

She doesn't seem to understand his reasoning for not masking herself while taking food and drink, … only repeats her demand until the flight crew had to intervene.

They try to restrain her and push her back to her seat, but she fights them—and finally fires one at the man … who tells her she's going to jail for assaulting him twice. The woman doesn't care ... she makes fun of him, even after he calls her "Karen."

Eventually they get her under control ... and they say Atlanta PD was on the ground waiting for them when they landed. She was reportedly taken to a nearby ADP station and then turned over to the FBI. Unclear what charges, if any, she was booked on.
