A United Airways flight attendant had to be taken to a Chicago hospital for observation after an unruly passenger disrupted a flight on Sunday morning.
The irate passenger, who was being addressed as Sarah, was removed by Chicago police after the plane landed at Chicago’s O’Hare airport early Sunday morning.
Police had been alerted to reports of a ‘disturbance’ on United Flight 476.
The plane had departed San Francisco heading to Chicago when the bizarre inflight incident occurred that was all captured on video by another passenger.
In the video, several flight attendants are seen in the crowded aisle confronting a screaming woman who was holding a small child and she yells out: ‘Where is it?’ Fox News reported.
One of the female flight attendants is heard saying in a slightly panicked tone: ‘Ma’am we are landing.’ Before saying: ‘Sarah, step back. Step back. Sarah, step back!’
The flight attendant continues to tell her to ‘step back’ as another flight attendant is seen running to help assist in front of the plane.
The woman whose child appears to be crying is pointing her finger toward the face of one of the female flight attendants, as other passengers remain seated and calm.
It is unclear what triggered the female passenger before the meltdown occurred.
