Tokyo (AFP) – Japanese police have arrested a drunken American man over a punch-up with another passenger on an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight, which caused a delay, officers said Wednesday.
The man, whose name has not been released, was pulled off the Boeing 777 that was due to fly from Tokyo’s main gateway Narita airport to Los Angeles, after the brawl erupted before takeoff.
“I will kill you!” the male passenger, wearing a red Hawaiian shirt, is seen yelling in video footage filmed by another passenger, who uploaded it on social media.
“The plane was about 50 minutes late, so everyone was a little irritated because of that, kinda frustrated, ” Corey Hour, the passenger who shot the video, told the BBC.
The man in the red Hawaiian shirt is seen throwing punches at another male passenger, as other people on the flight try to escape the area, until ANA staff separate the two men.
