Passenger Bites Officer After Refusing to Pay for Baggage in Chaotic Plane Scene [WATCH]

A flight departing from Argentina was briefly delayed on Tuesday after a passenger allegedly resisted removal from an aircraft, leading to a confrontation with police that was captured on video by multiple travelers, as reported by the New York Post.

The incident took place at Jorge Newbery Airpark in Buenos Aires and involved a passenger aboard a JetSmart flight scheduled to travel to Córdoba, Argentina.

According to reports from Jam Press, the dispute began after airline personnel determined that the woman’s carry-on luggage exceeded weight limits. Authorities said she boarded the aircraft without resolving the issue or paying the required excess baggage fee.

Video recorded by fellow passengers showed several police officers entering the aircraft and attempting to remove the woman from her seat. Footage from the incident quickly circulated online, showing a lengthy struggle between the passenger and law enforcement officers inside the cabin.

The footage shows officers continuing to restrain the woman as they attempted to guide her off the aircraft. Several passengers could be heard reacting to the confrontation as it unfolded.

After a prolonged struggle, officers successfully removed the passenger from the flight. Video from the scene showed some travelers applauding once she had been escorted from the aircraft.
