A Florida man caused chaos when he tried to open the exit door on a plane mid-flight, but a flight attendant hit him with a wine bottle as several passengers helped restrain him.
The FBI charged Joseph Daniel Hudek IV, a 23-year-old man from Tampa, Fla., with interfering with a flight crew after the incident, which occurred on a flight going from Seattle to Beijing, China.
Hudek was traveling first class and ordered one beer before the plane departed. Shortly after, while the plane was in the air, he went to the restroom, came out to ask a flight attendant a question, and then returned to the restroom. Two minutes later, he again exited the restroom and then ran towards an emergency exit door and attempted to open it.
Two flight attendants tried to stop Hudek, but he pushed them away as he tried to lift the handle on the door. The flight attendants asked passengers for help, but Hudek fought them off, too, and hit one male passenger in the head with a desert wine bottle.
A flight attendant then grabbed a 1-liter bottle of wine and hit Hudek on the head.
"Do you know who I am?" Hudek allegedly said after getting smacked with the bottle.
He "did not seem impacted by the breaking of a full-liter red wine bottle over his head," the FBI complaint states.
Hudek continued to fight back, but more passengers got involved and eventually subdued the unruly man and he was restrained with zip-ties.
During the return to Seattle, Hudek "remained extremely combative, and multiple passengers were needed to restrain Hudek and keep him restrained until the plane landed safely," according to the complaint.
Hudek faces 20 years in prison for the incident.

Sorry to hear about the wine bottle breaking.
He should never be allowed to board a plane again. And that’s after many years behind bars.
20 years down the drain for a few minutes of absolute stupidity. Bravo!! [/s]
One beer? Sheesh. Lightweight.
I feel sorry for Joseph Daniel Hudek III. He’s a Republican, too, poor guy. How awful to be the parent of a kid so dumb that after he tries something like this, then asks, “Do you know who I am?”
How could this guy fight off so many people? Hw took PCP in the bathroom?
Yep. Likely.
Faces 20 years.

Talked to my Sister today. 30 year Flight Attendant of the Air Line in question. This clown wasn’t a full fare Customer. He was flying standby with a Friend’s and Family pass. Yep, if a First Class seat is availability come lift off Friends and Family can be upgraded from Coach. Flew from Boston to LA a number of years back on a Family pass, was upgraded to First Class. SWEET!
Drugs are your friend. Bath salts?
Idiot couldn’t even figure out how to open the door.
But, what was the VINTAGE? Details, please. Go ahead and clobber him with some cheap Kali grape juice/varnish remover, but save the good stuff, for Pete’s sake.
Actually, Idiot did know how, and had turned the handle enough that if they were at lower altitude, he could have opened it. Another passenger had to put the lever back in the safe position after the altercation.
No, it wouldn’t have opened at altitude, but could have opened during approach.
“... and hit one male passenger in the head with a desert wine bottle.”
From the Chateau Sahara, no doubt. One of the Algerian “desert” wines.
