Bloodied United Airline Passenger Forced and Dragged Because of Overbooked Flight

A Chinese passenger on a United Airline flight was body-slammed and dragged out of his seat to make room for airline staff.

United offered a compensation of $400 and a hotel stay for volunteers to take the next flight the following day. Since there were no volunteers, they bumped the $400 to $800; still there were no volunteers. The staff decided to select four passengers by computer. One couple and another passenger peacefully, but the Asian man, who claimed to be a Doctor, refused. The airport law enforcement stepped in and aggressively acted to remove this passenger.

United Airline’s CEO apologized for the incident that perpetuated the internet through a video, showing the Chicago Aviation security officers vigorously pulling the man out of his seat, smashing his face against the arm rest, and being dragged out by his arms. He is seen to be knocked out by this time and was bleeding from the mouth.
