A passenger on a United Airlines flight had to be tied up and gagged and the flight diverted after he refused to come out of the bathroom and then turned violent when confronted by staff.
The United Airlines flight 944 to Frankfurt, Germany, from Chicago was diverted to Cleveland on Friday night after the flight attendant found that the large man had been in the bathroom for almost 30 minutes and refused to come out.
When he eventually did he started screaming at the flight attendants and put one in a headlock before wrestling him to the ground.
That is when some of the passengers on board were asked to help.
Joe Shulfer, of Woodstock, told Newsradio 780: 'The flight attendant just ran up to me and literally grabbed me by the shirt and said, "You need to come with me now".'
By then three men were already wrestling with him and they managed to handcuff him and tie up his feet. Then he started spitting and swearing.

The FBI has now identified the passenger as 21-year-old Saleh Alramakh of Akron.
“The FBI has now identified the passenger as 21-year-old Saleh Alramakh of Akron.”
So he’s Italian?
LOL! Such an ignorant, bigoted statement. It is only 78% of them which make the other 22% look bad. So to show how enlightened I am, I'll bet there is only a 78% he was named Mohammed or some derivative thereof. And a 20% chance he was named Achmed, Ahab or something like that.
I agree. I have a policy that if any SOB acts up on a plane I am taking them down ASAP. Not going to be asked to help. Remember a few weeks ago when the jerk was pounding on the cockpit door? I most likely would of taken him out of the play forever. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior on an aircraft.
These moslems have zero self-control.
Just look at Barry “Jihad” 0bama.
Aka President Omoslem.
I see now why this happened, his name is Saleh Alramakh...
...he WASN’T arrested...? Must be because he has a middle-eastern name. Can’t be stereotyping, now...
If he had spit on me they would have delivered him to police unconsious.
Nothing is as nasty as a s.o.b. spitting on people.
they should have kicked his ass good.
I’m sure he spent 30 minutes in the restroom just using it as intended.
Swedish.
I would suggest you read the article.
The mirror was removed, wires were hanging from the ceiling, and he put the flight attendant in a head lock.
"A United flight from San Francisco to Germany was diverted to Chicago early Sunday morning after a crew member discovered a sticker with a threatening message in one of the bathrooms.
[...]"
You missed with the 20%, his name doesn't start with an 'A'.
“The FBI has now identified the passenger as 21-year-old Saleh Alramakh of Akron.”
Ohio?!? Who'd a thunk that Akron would be the source of this kind of problem?
Just a headlock?
And flush toilets!
Was he yelling “Zips Akbah”?
The incident must have happened right after takeoff, since they left Chicago and diverted to Cleveland.
Sounds suspicious to me.
Hmm, it sounds like Stryker still isn’t over Macho Grande...
