A passenger bit a piece of fabric from a flight attendant’s shirt and told an “old lady” she should “go back to Russia” during a mid-flight nervous breakdown.
The woman was on United Airlines Flight 762 from Miami to Newark but had barely made it off the runway Tuesday night when she began acting unruly.
The video recorded by another traveler begins after the crew has zip-tied her wrists and she is struggling with three of them.
Suddenly he bit into one of his shoulders, tearing off a piece of cloth and letting it float to the ground in front of the shocked plane.
“Stop touching me… let me go, I’m a fucked up girl, are you trying to kill me?” she screamed afterwards.

Suddenly, he bit into one of his shoulders, tearing off a piece of cloth and letting it float to the ground in front of the shocked plane.
The video shows the woman, now with her hands tied behind her back and standing in the aisle, yelling at everyone not to fly on United.
“These people have an attitude problem and they’re not doing their job, dammit. They’re handcuffing me. Why are you handcuffing me?” he shouted.
‘Why, bitch? Why the fuck are you handcuffing me? Why, why, why?’
A passenger told her to stop shouting and she said: “Go back to Russia, old lady,” then uttered a series of expletives and said: “I’m going to kill you, bitch.”
The plane’s audio captured the woman screaming: “You are a disgrace, you piece of shit, I wish I could spit on you right now.”
“Don’t do that, don’t do that,” a flight attendant warned. “You’re insulting everyone on this plane.”

Everyone on the plane cheered when she was kicked off after the flight was diverted to Orlando and delayed three and a half hours.
Witnesses said she threw punches and spit at people before being restrained, according to TMZ.
More videos after the plane landed in Orlando showed the woman being taken out of the airport by police.
“The plane is here in Orlando and the crew will not be continuing (to Newark) due to what happened between here and Miami,” the staff announced.
United said the passenger “became aggressive and disruptive,” causing the diversion to Orlando and a lengthy delay.
The staff announced that the flight would be delayed in Orlando (pictured) and that the staff would not continue to Newark after all the drama.

“Our flight attendants worked to deescalate the situation and protect other customers, and after landing in Orlando, police met the flight and the passenger was removed,” it said.
‘We are grateful to our team for their professionalism and for ensuring the safety of our customers and their fellow United employees.’
The Orlando Police Department said the woman was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation and no arrests have yet been made.
The woman’s identity and the cause of her seizure are still unknown.
