Drunk "American man" disrupt flight

A drunk American man has been arrested for launching a physical assault over another passenger in an All Nippon Airways flight to Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Below is a brief written video footage account of what transpired in the disrupted flight:

“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 social media.

“The plane was about 50 minutes late, so everyone was a little irritated because of that, kinda frustrated,” Corey Hour, the passenger who shot the video, told media reporters.

The man was seen throwing punches at another male passenger, as other people on the flight try to escape the area, until ANA staff separates the two men.

The red-shirted man then shakes off the female flight attendant’s attempts to restrain him and continues to throw punches.

“The flight attendants actually got caught up in the mix and that’s when the video ends as I put my phone down and I actually got in the middle of everyone and confronted him,” Hour added.

“The suspect, a US citizen, was drunk and arrested after he injured an ANA official following the fight,” a member of the airport police told AFP.

The man, however, was arrested for injuring the airline official, not for the on-board brawl, said the airport police spokesman, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.

Local media reported that Japanese investigators also questioned the American about the fight on the plane.

As of lunchtime Wednesday, the man remained in detention in Japan, the police spokesman said.

It was reported that ANA was forced to delay the flight for another one hour and 40 minutes due to the fight and bad weather.
