An American Airlines flight was thrown into disarray after a man was tackled to the ground following an alleged violent outburst towards his female travel companion.
The male passenger was reportedly restrained in first class, with video footage of the incident showing several men leaning over a row of seats towards the man who was seated in the first row of the flight from Miami to Charlotte, North Carolina.
In the video, a man is heard telling the male passenger to remove his hands from his female travel companion, while a female crew member attempts to defuse the situation. The situation quickly escalates as passengers demand the man move away from the woman, shouting: “Do not f—ing touch her.”
The man appears to justify his alleged actions, prompting a defensive passenger to retort: “I don’t give a f—,’ the man responds as the passenger argues that he took his hands off the woman. ‘Look at me, you f—ed up, You don’t f—ing touch her.”
Passengers then suggest the woman move to an empty seat, which she does – moving across the aisle.
The alleged aggressor claims he was the original victim as he too had been assaulted. The woman counters by claiming she did not assault him, but did put her hand over his mouth to make him ‘shut up’.
A man was restrained by fellow passengers after causing a scene on a flight that landed in Charlotte, where police boarded the plane and escorted both him and a woman away.
In another incident last week, a woman was caught on video brazenly stealing an unattended Apple iPhone charger on a plane, leading to a heated confrontation with the rightful owner.
The man filmed himself approaching the woman to ask if she had taken the charger. She admitted to taking it, which led to a tense exchange.
“Chill the —- out,” she retorted, justifying her actions by saying “nobody was on the flight.”
Visibly irritated, he admonished her for her thoughtless act, stating “You can’t take things without asking. It doesn’t make sense.”
The altercation drew the attention of other passengers, including one woman who told the man to sit down before he gets ejected from the flight.
Another passenger interjected: “You’re being ridiculous. She said she was gonna give it back.”
The man, refusing to sit down, retorted, “No, you’re being ridiculous. She stole something without asking.”
The woman who took the charger then reached into her bag and returned it to the man. He continued to berate her, arguing that she only returned it because he confronted her and “everyone else saw you,” he added.
Throughout the video of the encounter, which was posted to TikTok, the woman appears irritated when the charger’s owner insists on its return. The internet sided mostly with the man, labeling the passenger as a “gaslighter.”
A commenter pointed out, “the evidence is in her bag, and she’s gaslighting him.”
“Nah she’s trying to act like it’s not a big deal because she’s on the wrong side of the argument,” another remarked, noting her casual demeanor. The fact that the charger ended up inside her zipped bag convinced many that theft was her intention.
“She has it zipped up inside her bag. She wasn’t planning on giving it back,” observed another bystander in the viral saga.
