A crazy video has gone viral showing a passenger duct taped to his seat after harassing flight attendants and punching another in the face.
The video was taken on a Frontier Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Miami and shows a passenger being duct-taped to his seat after he allegedly groped two flight attendants and punched a third in the face.
Maxwell Berry, 22, has been arrested and charged with three counts of battery in connection to the incident that happened over the weekend.
In the video he can be seen swearing and boasting about how much money his family has. Flight attendants can be seen trying to calm him down before he threw punches and had to be restrained.

The young man had two drinks on the flight before spilling one on his shirt and taking the shirt off in the bathroom. He then allegedly wandered around shirtless before groping the chests of two female flight attendants, then punching the male attendant who came over to keep him under control. He remained taped to his seat until police boarded the plane to arrest him. He’s charged with three counts of battery.
In addition to that, the flight attendants involved had been suspended pending further investigation, since proper policies were not followed. The internet warriors immediately came out in criticism of that decision calling the flight attendants heroes, and a spokesperson for Frontier clarified that they were being paid while on leave.
Within hours of the largest flight attendant union demanding support for the suspended crew, Frontier is out with a new statement. Frontier says their first statement was rushed, but still will not say if the flight attendants were initially suspended for violating policy. pic.twitter.com/uTyvEWczda
