American Airlines passenger restrained, knocked to floor while barging into cockpit: video

Astonishing footage shows an American Airlines passenger being restrained by airline staff after she tried storming the aircraft’s cockpit.

The incident happened aboard American Airlines Flight 950 from São Paulo, Brazil, to New York City April 24.

The video shows a woman being restrained as she stood outside the pilot’s cockpit. During the intense moment, she was knocked to the floor.

An airline employee seemed to grab her by her shirt, while another passenger stood up and yelled in Portuguese. This all unfolded in the first-class cabin of the plane.

The airline added that the plane was “met by law enforcement” and departed again at 12:55 a.m.
