Witnesses told FOX6 they rushed in and tackled the man, tied his hands and feet together and pinned him down for the rest of the flight. He was later arrested and sent for evaluation. Since he's not charged, FOX6 News is not naming him.
"There was a minute or two there, where it was just chaos," said Doug McCright, who lives in the Dallas area. "I must have caught an elbow in the mouth there at one point in it, but all you're concerned about is, ‘You got to stop this. You have to stop this.’"
