Man arrested in drunken airline brawl
Print Edition
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 yesterday.
The man was pulled off the Boeing 777 which was due to fly from Tokyo’s main gateway Narita airport to Los Angeles, after the brawl erupted.
“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 to social media.
“The plane was about 50 minutes late, so everyone was a little irritated because of that,” said Corey Hour, the passenger who shot the video.
The man in the red Hawaiian shirt is seen throwing punches at another male passenger, while other people on the flight tried to escape the area, until ANA staff separate the two men.
The red-shirted man then shook off a female flight attendant’s attempts to restrain him and continued to throw punches.
The man was eventually arrested for injuring an airline official, rather than the passenger, said an airport police spokesman. And as of lunchtime yesterday, the man remained in detention in Japan.
The fight, as well as bad weather, forced ANA to delay the departure of the airplane by one hour and 40 minutes.
