Violent, Disruptive Passenger Duct-Taped To Seat On NJ-Bound Flight, Reports Say

A 67-year-old Arizona man was duct-taped to his seat by fellow passengers on a Dallas-to-Newark flight after he hurled racist and homophobic slurs at flight attendants, hit the passenger next to him, and bit one of the people who restrained him. The flight was diverted to Baltimore, where he was removed and charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault, and his real estate employer has since cut ties with him.
