This is the chaotic moment a belligerent American Airlines passenger was put in a headlock and dragged out by a fellow flyer before takeoff.
The disruptive male passenger was removed from flight 2506 that was set to fly from Tampa International Airport to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
During the outburst, which caused a 30-minute delay, the man yelled an anti-Semitic slur at a flight attendant and seemed to threaten another passenger.
In a statement, American Airline told DailyMail.com: 'Prior to departure of American Airlines flight 2506 with service from Tampa (TPA) to Philadelphia (PHL), law enforcement was requested to the aircraft due to a disturbance in the cabin involving a disruptive customer.
'We thank our team for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.'
Tampa International Airport Police did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
Video of the altercation, which was posted in three parts on X (formally known as Twitter), showed the moments leading up to the man being escorted off the plane.
It begins with the man, dressed in a white and blue button-down shirt, standing in the middle of the aisle as fellow passengers look on.
'I will universally, publicly, mess you up,' he says before he turns to face a male flight attendant.
'Get off the plane,' a female says in the background.
Female passengers start to discuss if the man brought a bag on board or not, as he continues to argue with the airline employee.
He then moves into a window seat nearby and sits down as a female flight attendant says:,'Do you have a bag or anything you want to grab before you get off?'

Ummm ... the headline and article clearly say it was a fellow passenger who dragged this idiot off of the plane. No thanks for that guy?
Looks like some kind of camel jockey.
Is that a Palestinian scarf the guy had around his neck?
Doesn’t sound like the usual “Allahu achbar!”
Here’s a short clip of some passengers throwing the piece of garbage off the plane. They are not very gentle. 👍🏻

He’s just trying to get back to his home country.
White (headlock) guy will probably be charged for stopping this lunatic’s antics.
“ No thanks for that guy?”
*********************
Well, I thank him. And I bet every passenger and crew member on that plane thanks him. He did the righteous thing. Props to him… whether the timid airline executives, who likely are afraid to “offend” ANYONE, say it or not.
The bad guy has an Arabic or Middle Eastern accent, a bad Jew hatred, is threatening a flight and has a horrid attitude. He should be put on a Do Not Fly list.
He’s trying to get to his “home country.” Get him there and make sure he never enters the US again.
People still remember 9/11. That burly passenger who put him in the headlock really took charge to get the vermin off the plane.
“He’s just trying to get back to his home country.”
I didn’t realize Delta had nonstop service to Hell.

I know, right? I love that man, whoever he is.
“Turn around and walk!”
And I loved how some other men followed along to make sure the scum got removed. Real men are great.
So no federal charges against him? Some people belong to a protected class.
23 years later, this is a perfect video showing why we haven't seen a hijacking of an American flight.
Hijackings used to be common before 9/11. (Well, maybe not in USA but throughout the world)
Yep.
Toxic masculinity ... on wonderful display :)
Excellent! Blue Hoodie Guy knows his stuff and is NOT fccking around.
American.

>> He’s trying to get to his “home country.” Get him there...
How??!? I’ve heard people talk about “the flight FROM hell”... but which airline operates flights TO hell?
