According to reports, the phone footage shows the woman shouting in Portuguese and English, warning a crew member and saying, "I'll kick you in the balls," prior to being forced to the ground. A male passenger then stood up and started yelling at crew members, which led to more chaos at the scene. Cabin crew members promptly took an action de-escalate the confrontation and made the aircraft its way back to the boarding gate. The airline said the flight returned to the gate before taking off due to 'a security issue onboard'.

Shock moment flight attendants wrestle female passenger to ground after she tried to storm cockpit on plane to New York
This is the dramatic moment a brazen female passenger is tackled to the ground by flight crew – after she tried to break into the cockpit. Passengers on board the New York-bound American Airlines flight watched in confusion as staff scuffled with the woman and restrained her. Bizarre footage from inside the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner showed the cockpit door wide open while the plane was still at Brazil's Sao Paulo airport. Flight attendants can be seen struggling to get the door closed before a woman makes an odd intervention by trying to storm the cockpit. The middle-aged smartly-dressed passenger confronts the staff – sparking a squabble. The crew member can be heard telling the first-class passenger: 'Get out, get out.' As the pair continue to argue the crew member ends up taking the woman down to the ground as she continues to protest. Another flight attendant then restrains her and escorts her back to her first-class seat. Baffled passengers watched on as the woman is ushered past them. One angry flyer is seen standing up in his seat, demanding an explanation from the woman. He is heard screaming in fury at the woman – visibly upset by her rash behaviour. The woman reportedly made her strange coup attempt after complaining about the delayed takeoff. Both passengers were handed over to police after the jet returned to the boarding gate following the confrontation. The shocking ordeal took place on American Airlines flight AA950 bound for JFK on April 24, according to local media. The quick brawl delayed the flight by more than two hours, according to the FlightAware tracking website. American Airlines confirmed the brawl, and said that the flight returned to the gate due to a 'safety problem on board'. 'The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and we thank everyone for their understanding,' the airline said. 'The aircraft was received by police officers.' They confirmed that the flight took off finally by 12.55am local time. Last month, shocking footage captured the moment two angry passengers clashed over a reclined seat while on a busy flight to Bali. The pair got into a heated argument before attempting to get physical with one another.

‘Outrageous': Flight descends into chaos after brawl
Shocking video has captured the moment flight attendants are forced to physically restrain a woman after she tried to barge into the cockpit during a New York-bound flight. Bizarre footage taken on the American Airlines flight from Sao Paulo last Thursday shows the woman being knocked to the ground as a male crew member holds her down. The door to the cockpit can be seen wide open as members of the flight crew struggle to close it. The woman, a smartly dressed first-class passengers, begins to confront the flight attendant, sparking an argument. A worker can be heard shouting, 'Get out, get out' as the woman attempts to break her way in to the cockpit again, As the pair continues to scuffle, the woman is knocked to the ground prompting a male passenger to stand up from his seat and begin shouting furiously in Portuguese, telling the woman to 'shut up.' As the woman is ushered back to her seat she begins yelling back at the fellow passenger and attempts to rush towards him. 'You son of a b**ch, disgusting, you can't touch me, you don't know who you're talking to, you're going to get screwed. I went to ask why I was late and this [man] threw me out,' she yelled, according to flight magazine Aeroin. The fight was reportedly triggered after the woman complained about the late takeoff time. Both passengers were handed over to police after the jet returned to the boarding gate following the confrontation on American Airlines flight AA950 from Sao Paulo, Brazil. According to a flight tracking website, the brawl further delayed the flight by over two hours. Video of the fight began circulating after it was shared to social media with viewers divided over the chaotic scenes. 'Karen's are a real thing. Their sense of entitlement is off the chart,' said one person. 'Outrageous. This is what happens when people forget respect,' said another. 'What an idiot,' added a third. However, not all were convinced the passenger was in the wrong. 'Airlines could avoid outbursts like this by keeping passengers informed of the delay — updates at least every 30 minutes in cases like this. It's actually surprising that more people don't react like this out of frustration,' said one. 'This is my kind of girl,' said one star-strucker viewer. It isn't known if the two passengers were charged. American Airlines released a statement on the situation saying, 'On Thursday, 24th April, American Airlines Flight 950, operating from Sao Paulo (GRU) to New York (JFK), returned to the boarding gate prior to departure due to a safety problem on board. 'The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and we thank everyone for their understanding. The aircraft was received by police officers.'
