Shocking moment woman is dragged off Delta flight by two cops after ‘storming on to jet without checking in’
The woman was pulled down the aisle by her arms as shocked passengers looked on
FOOTAGE has emerged which shows a woman being dragged off a plane by police after she reportedly stormed on the jet without checking-in.
In the video, the woman can be seen being pulled down the aisle by her arms as shocked passengers looked on.
The woman had refused to leave Delta flight 2038 at Detroit Metropolitan Airport before it took off for San Diego around 8am on Monday, according to an airline spokesman.
Passengers who witnessed the incident said the “mouthy” woman barged past gate staff without checking-in.
She then reportedly demanded more overhead luggage space.
“She didn’t check in with gate agent and walked right on,” Rene deLambert said, according to Fox.
“[The] woman blew by gate agent and didn’t check in because she wasn’t an early boarder and deserved overhead bin space.”

Onlookers said the woman had a “huge attitude”.
Police reportedly asked the woman to leave the plane several times, but she refused.
"Police tackled her out of her seat and brought her to the ground. Not sure how she was subdued,” Rene said.
Delta confirmed the woman was escorted off the flight because she “would not comply with boarding and baggage check procedures”.
“Despite repeated requests by officers, the woman refused to leave the aircraft and had to be removed,” a spokesman said.
The woman, who has not been identified, appeared to be awake and not resisting when she was taken off the plane.
She was arrested for violation of airport ordinances, including failure to leave the aircraft.
But she has not been formally charged, according to the spokesman.
