Terrifying moment ‘screaming’ plane passenger refuses to let go of woman’s hair as ‘hero’ flight attendant restrains him THIS is the terrifying moment a screaming plane passenger who refuses to let go of a woman's hair is restrained by a "hero" flight attendant.
"A flight attendant was called then he grabbed the woman's hair in front of him and wouldn't let go so the flight attendant started punching him in the throat.
In a statement, Alaska Airlines said: "On Feb. 1, Alaska Airlines Flight 2221, operated by Horizon Air, from Oakland to Portland returned to the gate before departure due to an incident involving a passenger.
Footage posted to social media shows the brave Alaska Airlines crew member repeatedly striking the man - who has a vicious grip on the hair of the passenger in front.
It's unclear what sparked the man's aggression, but a passenger who claimed to have been on the flight reported that he was "restrained for several minutes before being arrested".
