Drunk gentleman gets aggressive mid-flight, punches passenger before plane is diverted
A Scoot Airlines plane flying from the Gold Coast in Australia to Singapore had to cut the flight short, landing in Sydney, when a gentleman became "unruly." About 20 minutes after the plane took off, the man went into attack mode, screaming and finally punching another passenger before people were able to restrain him.
A few minutes of the scene was captured on video and posted to Facebook by passenger Rico David Garilli, who starts his post with, "EDIT: watch until the end. He strips and goes for a run before being tackled down." Garilli explains that the man had been "drinking heavy" before the plane took off.
After being dumped in Sydney, passengers scrambled to find other flights, some having to wait for more than seven hours before boarding another plane.
