Passenger duct-taped, zip-tied to seat after midair outburst on American Airlines

A passenger on an American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Newark was restrained with duct tape and zip ties after becoming disruptive and violent during the flight. The incident occurred approximately two hours into the journey when the man began yelling at another passenger, referencing religious themes and making racist and anti-gay remarks. A Black flight attendant was targeted with a racial slur, and the man physically assaulted a nearby passenger and pushed a female intervenor. Three other passengers, including a retired law enforcement officer, helped restrain the man, using duct tape and zip ties provided by the flight attendants. The flight was diverted to Baltimore, where the passenger was arrested upon landing. The individual’s identity remains undisclosed.
