In a shocking incident, a United Airlines crew member was repeatedly punched by an enraged passenger on a red-eye flight from San Francisco to Houston on Monday, as captured in a cellphone video by traveler Naya Jimenez. Good Samaritans restrained the male passenger after he took swings at the flight attendant. During the chaotic scene, the unruly passenger even attempted to jump out of the plane while it was still on the ground. According to a fellow passenger, the situation began unfolding before takeoff from San Francisco International Airport around midnight. The out-of-control passenger physically assaulted the flight attendant by hitting them multiple times with fists, as seen in the footage. The situation turned even more dangerous when the irate passenger opened an emergency exit door at the front of the plane, with intentions to jump out. Fortunately, the flight crew intervened and prevented the man from carrying out his plan by pulling him back to safety.
