A viral TikTok video shows a passenger being removed from a United Airlines flight after he verbally harassed and threatened airline workers for telling him to put on his mask.
“You won’t believe what happened on my flight,” reads the caption for the video, posted last week, which shows the altercation between the belligerent man and a flight attendant.
The clip, which has more than 3 million views, starts with a seated man shouting,”Take me off, I don’t even want to go to Cali,” then threatening someone off-screen. “I will find your name, date of birth, and address. I’ll know your Social Security number before I get off this plane,” he says.

The man then stands up, shoving a passenger seated next to him aside before storming into the aisle and confronting a flight attendant and a passenger who stood up to intervene.
“Mind your business — ’cause I’ll break your neck,” the man tells the passenger. There is more yelling and shoving before the man throws himself against a wall in the aisle and shouts, “Let’s go to jail.”

A second TikTok video explains what led up to the incident, saying that a “flight attendant had asked him to hang up” his phone and “keep his mask on four times.”
