This is the moment a screaming man was knocked out and forcibly dragged off an overbooked United flight by cops while fellow passengers yelled in distress on Sunday night.
Three officers were filmed yanking the man from his seat in Chicago, bashing his head against an arm rest and dragging the seemingly unconscious man down the aisle as he bled from the mouth.
The man – who claimed to be a doctor and said he needed to see patients the next morning – was one of four randomly selected by United to leave the 5.40pm flight from O’Hare to Louisville, Kentucky.
United had unsuccessfully appealed for volunteers who were willing to give up their seats for $800, stay in a hotel and fly the next day. The passengers were removed so airline staff could get to Louisville to man a flight the next day.
When the appeal fell on deaf ears they selected four passengers by computer – many airlines choose passengers with the lowest fares to offload although it is not known if this is the case at United.
One couple left the plane at Chicago O’Hare peacefully, but the Asian man who was travelling with his wife refused.
