American Airlines crew and passengers had to disembark and board a screaming man before a flight bound for Miami International Airport on Friday night.
The unidentified man was preparing to board American Airlines Flight 948 at Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport in Brazil when he let out a distress call, saying “please” and “they’re killing me” in Spanish, according to ABC Local 10.
The screaming passenger was detained as violent scenes broke out on the plane before airport security escorted him away.
The five brave men — four passengers and an airline employee — worked together to subdue the man, using duct tape on his arms and head, while also fighting off the unruly passenger’s punches in one of the plane’s cockpits, WPLG exclusive video shows.
