Watch: Passenger creates ruckus mid-air over insufficient space in overhead bin, asked to get off flight

A passenger onboard an American Airlines flight was asked to leave after he complained about insufficient space in the overhead bin. A video of the incident shows the passenger arguing with a cabin crew.

In a clip which was shared on Reddit, the person alleges that a man sitting across has put his luggage in his overhead locker.

“This guy put his luggage up here, now we don’t have any space,” the complaining passenger says before adding, “Now there’s no space. He’s got no space”.

Following this, a cabin crew member intervenes and asks the passenger to “please stop”.

“I am going to ask you one more time, if you continue…please stop,” the flight attendant says.

Hearing this, the man gets infuriated and says, “Don’t point at me, don’t point your finger at me. You point your finger at me one more time. I am going to call the police”.

The flight attendant then tries to clarify that he is “pointing no fingers”.

“You need to stop with this whole luggage situation,” he adds.

The in-flight crew then asks, “You’re going to call the police on me? OK.”
