An American Airlines flight crew restrained a 67-year-old Arizona man, Arthur Lundeen, using duct tape and zip ties after he allegedly became violent and hurled racist slurs during a flight from Dallas to Newark. The incident forced the plane to divert to Baltimore-Washington International Airport, where Lundeen was arrested and faces charges of second-degree assault and disorderly conduct. Video footage shows Lundeen appearing 'like a mummy' wrapped in tape, with visible injuries. The altercation reportedly began when Lundeen, who was allegedly intoxicated, targeted a black flight attendant with racial slurs and attacked other passengers. This incident follows similar cases of unruly passengers causing disruptions on flights.
