Cellphone video shows a passenger on a United Airlines flight threatening to « kill every man on this plane » before allegedly attacking a flight attendant with a broken metal spoon.
In the footage, Francisco Severo Torres, 33, screams from his seat during a flight from Los Angeles to Boston. He then stands up, walks toward the crew members and appears to lunge at a flight attendant. Several passengers rush at him to intervene, the footage shows.
Lisa Olsen, who filmed the video, told NBC Boston that Torres seemed to be « visibly upset » and threatened that there was going to be a « bloodbath. »
She praised fellow passengers for stepping in and holding Torres down with zip ties and belts until the plane landed.
« So many, many men on that plane just got up and, you know, went right after him, » she said.
