Detroit Airport Police Drag Woman From Flight: Video
A spokesman for Delta Airlines said the woman didn't comply with proper boarding procedures.
DETROIT, MI — A woman was dragged off Delta Flight 2083 at the Detroit Metro Airport Monday by airport police after she allegedly violated proper boarding procedures, according to reports.
René de Lambert, a frequent Delta flyer who is not affiliated with the airline, posted the 2-minute video on YouTube and wrote about it on his blog, RenésPoints.
“She didn’t check in with gate agent and walked right on,” Lambert wrote. “[The] woman blew by gate agent and didn’t check in because she wasn’t an early boarder and deserved overhead bin space. Colleague in back by her said she was mouthy and had a huge attitude. Police tackled her out of her seat and brought her to the ground. Not sure how she was subdued, some people speculated a Taser.”
