Watch: Emirates cabin crew tackle drunk, ‘violent’ passenger on flight

Cabin crew on an Emirates flight between Dubai and Islamabad were forced to tackle a drunk passenger and truss him up with flexicuffs after he allegedly became ‘violent’ during the two-and-a-half-hour flight.

Video shared on social media showed two male cabin crew manhandle the passenger to the ground as other crew members hand them a wad of black flexicuffs to cuff his hands and feet.

The incident is said to have occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning, with Emirates flight EK614 landing in Islamabad at around 1:20 am.

The passenger was so drunk that journalist Amir Mateen shared a video of the suspect being wheeled off the aircraft in a wheelchair while someone implored him to drink water in an attempt to sober up.
