Video captured a United Airlines passenger standing on his own seat and kicking the backrest during a flight from Texas to Los Angeles earlier this month.
The Nov. 16 incident recorded by fellow passenger Gino Galofaro and shared with KTLA shows the unidentified man in an “Austin” sweatshirt and sweatpants repeatedly stomping on the reclined seat shortly before the plane was scheduled to land at LAX.
“Nobody was doing anything, so I got up and subdued him and I guess two other passengers were getting zip ties from the flight attendant,” Galofaro said.
The unruly man was eventually tied by the hands and feet and seat belted to another seat, Galoforo said.
The man was taken into custody upon arrival at LAX although it was unclear if he was arrested or charged.
The unidentified passenger was banned from future United Airlines flights, the New York Post reported.
