A Florida man was arrested on Tuesday after an incident aboard an airliner that escalated after he refused to leave the plane when asked to do so.
Shail Patel, 29, was eventually removed from an American Airlines plane as it sat on a Tampa runway, according to WFLA-TV. The plane was bound for Philadelphia.
Patel “began acting erratically yelling and cursing at the passengers, ” as soon as he boarded, police said, according to the New York Post.
A report from police said Patel began “antagonizing passengers, calling flight attendants names, threatening passengers and aggressively moving through the Aircraft,” WFLA reported.
Patel slapped one passenger on the hand and face and spit at the passenger, police said.
Video of the incident shows him yelling at the passengers.
“I’m trying to get to my home country and you all people made it harder for me to get to my home country,” he shouted in a video posted to X.
