Drunk Brit brought down the pilot after trying to roll out the window of the Virgin Atlantic flight from London to Los Angeles.
The pilot made an emergency landing in Salt Lake City, Utah, and police were waiting to arrest the “uncontrollable” travelers.
Witnesses say the man got into a fight in flight and got into a fight with several passengers before being conquered by the US Marine Corps.
In the confusion, the mother is said to have dropped a slightly injured child.
Passengers claimed he tried to kick out the window of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner during yesterday’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner rampage.
However, Virgin Atlantic has denied previous reports of a man trying to attack the cabin.
Onlookers said a man traveling with his partner and children got into “controversy” about an hour after the flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles.
“It took me a long time to sit down and get organized. After a few hours, it happened again and I thought, ‘This may not end well,'” they told the sun.
According to witnesses, the man fell asleep, but began beating him again and became “physical” when he woke up.
“There were some US Marines who attacked him. He sat behind him and handcuffed him,” he added.
The plane landed in Salt Lake City around 4:30 p.m. and took off just two hours after ambulances surrounded the vehicle.
Even before the plane left Britain, travelers said they were “shocked” after waiting two hours, dropping their bags and going through security again.
“I was there for five hours and I didn’t fly very much. People weren’t happy, people were very excited,” he said.
A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic said:
“The safety and well-being of our customers and crew has always been our number one priority and we do not tolerate any behavior that undermines this.
“We always want our customers to have the best possible experience when they fly with us. Our flight attendants influence that experience for others. They are highly trained to deal with the people who can provide them.
“The flight continued to arrive in Los Angeles at 8:00 p.m. local time and the arrival was delayed by about 4 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
