WATCH: Florida Man Arrested on American Airlines Flight After Calling Passengers ‘Blue-Eyed White Devils,’ Threatening to Crash Plane
A Florida man was placed in a headlock, dragged off his American Airlines flight, and arrested after calling passengers “blue-eyed white devils” and threatening to crash the plane.
Shail Patel, 29, had just boarded his flight from Tampa to Philadelphia when he threatened to “take this plane down with all you motherf-ckers on it.”
Patel was drunk and “antagonizing passengers, calling flight attendants names, threatening passengers and aggressively moving through the aircraft,” according to his court documents, which were obtained by local station WFLA.
Patel also slapped a passenger on the hand and spit on them.
“A flight attendant used the plane’s PA system to ask if there were off-duty officers on board who could help.
