First class flier dragged off plane and arrested over tantrum 'like 5-year-old'

DAILY STAR

A first-class passenger was dragged off the plane in cuffs when he refused to leave and threw a tantrum like a “5-year-old” – over a gin and tonic.

The unidentified man was known to have asked for a drink before take-off but was denied, prompting a clash with the flight attendants.

The incident took place on an American Airlines flight with the argument quickly turning into a row that caused staff to call the police.

The video has gone viral on social media and was first posted on TikTok and then later shared on Reddit where it garnered over 4,000 comments.

The passenger, who was repeatedly asked to leave the plane but refused, was later arrested, with online users branding him a “man-child.”
