Quote: "The passenger was about to be tossed off the flight for 'erratic behavior' when he ran back down the plane’s access stairs and onto the ramp area, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said Wednesday. The flight was operated by PSA Airlines, police said. Two videos obtained by Charlotte TV station WSOC show the man stripping off some of his clothes, then punching and chasing airport employees. He charges at one worker and hits him with the wand."
