Odell Beckham Jr. was removed from a flight Sunday morning after sparking concerns he was “seriously ill” and declining to leave the plane, said Miami-Dade police said — though the former Giants wide receiver strongly disputed their account.
Beckham “appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness” after an American Airlines flight crew tried to wake him so he could fasten his seat belt before departing Miami International Airport, police told the Daily News.
Beckham declined multiple times to leave the plane when asked by the crew, according to police, who were called to the scene for what they described as a medical emergency.
“The aircraft was deplaned, at which time Mr. Beckham was asked by the officers to exit the plane, and did so without incident,” police said. “Mr. Beckham was escorted to the non-secure area of the terminal by the officers where he made other arrangements.”
The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m., with crew members expressing concern Beckham’s health would become worse during a five-hour flight to Los Angeles.
