Drunk passenger taped to seat during JFK-bound flight after ranting plane was 'going to crash'
Passenger Andy Ellwood said this man was taped to his seat after ranting that the Iceland-to-JFK flight was "going to crash."
An unruly passenger who got drunk and belligerent on a Kennedy Airport-bound intercontinental flight yesterday was subdued by passengers and taped to his seat the rest of the way, according to witness reports.
The passenger, who was on an Icelandair flight, "drank all of his duty-free liquor on the flight,” tried to "choke the woman next to him” and was "screaming the plane was going to crash,” according to passenger Andy Ellwood, who snapped the man’s photo and posted it to his blog.
The meltdown — in which the man also spat on several passengers — began when there were about two hours left on the flight, according to Icelandic news outlet Mbl.is.
He was arrested at JFK after spending the flight’s last two hours with his mouth covered, hands tied behind his back and torso bound to his chair with tape. The man’s name has not been released.
Bizarrely, federal prosecutors declined to prosecute the menace because passengers wouldn’t come forward to detail the man’s threatening behavior to authorities, a source told The Post.
