Enraged passenger kicked off plane after getting physical with pilot TIKTOK: _benmckayA Virgin Australia passenger went viral on TikTok after grabbing a pilot\u2019s shirt while swearing at him, before getting kicked off the flight. The man in question was filmed getting into a physical altercation with the pilot at the front of a Virgin Australia plane, as shocked passengers watched on. In the TikTok video, the pilot could be heard telling the man to \u201cwalk\u201d or they\u2019d \u201cget someone,\u201d but the situation escalated further before the pilot told him, \u201cyou\u2019re off mate.\u201d The passenger could be seen grabbing the pilot\u2019s shirt with his fists as the pilot repeatedly told him to \u201clet go.\u201d The man, however, continued to protest. An air hostess and a member of the public then stepped in to help the pilot push him towards the doors. \u201cDon\u2019t f**king touch me you stupid c***,\u201d the angry man was heard yelling. After he got aggressive with the flight attendant, the pilot could be heard giving instructions to \u201cget the cops.\u201d In response, the passenger said he was leaving. In the comments, TikTok users applauded the flight crew for how they handled the situation. \u201cDamn crew did amazing, they shouldn\u2019t have to deal with this\u2026 that female flight attendant was fiercely awesome,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cWell done to the crew, even though we\u2019re trained for this, it\u2019s still awful to deal with,\u201d another commented. Virgin Australia said the passenger was removed from the flight for unruly and disruptive behavior, with police called to the airport and travel restrictions imposed on the man. \u201cThe safety of guests and crew is our number one priority and we have zero tolerance for any type of unruly behavior on Virgin Australia flights,\u201d a company spokeswoman told news.com.au. This isn\u2019t the first time a passenger has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Back in November, an airline passenger was recorded threatening a crew member after being denied booze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
