At least these “motherf——” were real.

An allegedly intoxicated American Airlines passenger who belligerently spewed antisemitic slurs, called other passengers “motherf——,” “blue eyed white devils,” and even said “I’m gonna take this plane down,” had to be placed in a headlock to get him off of the plane, videos of the incident show.

A probable cause affidavit from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Law&Crime detailed that the alleged offense took place Tuesday evening at Tampa International Airport and that Shail Nitin Patel, 29, was identified as the suspect. Patel never made it to Philadelphia, Pa., as he was swiftly arrested in Florida.
