A first class passenger has gone viral after he was filmed having a tearful breakdown when he was arrested over a row over a doping lotion before take off.
The unidentified man allegedly ordered the cocktail, but this was denied by the officers which led to an argument which resulted in the staff calling the police.
Social media was quick to criticize the “man-child”, who was later filmed crying as he was arrested on the bridge of an American Airlines plane.
The clip begins with the officers ordering the man to leave – which he refuses to do.
Fellow passengers can be heard begging the man to get off the plane but he remains seated while arguing with the officers.
A first class passenger went viral after he was filmed having a tearful breakdown when he was caught over a row over a gin and tonic before take off.
At one point, he pulled out his phone to record the scuffle but immediately pulled it out of his hand.
The officers then remove him from his seat and fight with him in the aisle.
The man repeatedly shouted “stop” before bursting into tears.
After he finally left the plane, he continued sobbing as he fell to the ground and was handcuffed by officers.
It was not clear why he rejected the jinn and the tension or how the situation escalated.
American Airlines rules state that first class passengers are entitled to a drink before take off.
The man reportedly pleaded not guilty to a crime.
However, the US Department of Transportation says airlines can remove a passenger for reasons of “safety, security, or health risks, or for behavior deemed obscene, disruptive, or otherwise illegal.”
The video was posted to TikTok and shared on Reddit where it has garnered more than 4,000 comments.
I didn’t expect him to cry like that! What a child man! someone wrote.

After he finally left the plane, he continued to sob as he fell to the ground and the officers handcuffed him.
Another said: “When he took off his shoes, it reminded me of my 5-year-old nephew when he didn’t want to take a nap but was visibly tired.”
This follows a series of bad behavior on US flights.
Last month, gruesome video footage captured the moment a father attacked a passenger unprovoked in front of his children during a Southwest Airlines flight.
The violent confrontation saw the man put another in a headlock while others on board were forced to intervene, shouting: “Don’t hit him again.”
Meanwhile, a flight from Los Angeles to Boston made headlines this week after a passenger threatened to “kill every man on this plane.”
Francisco Severo Torres, 33, of Leominster, Massachusetts, has been charged with one count of interfering with and attempting to interfere with flight crew members with a dangerous weapon after he stabbed a flight attendant with a broken spoon.
In a video filmed by another passenger seated just feet away, Torres can be heard threatening mass murder while urging others to try and stop him.
