A shocking video shows a man repeatedly kicking a seat on a plane - before being restrained and tied up by passengers.
The clip was recorded by Gino Galofaro on a United Airlines flight from Austin to Los Angeles on November 16.
The San Diego-based addiction counsellor says he woke up to the activity and had to help restrain the man.
Galofaro, who runs addiction treatment service Hope Interventions, said: "I woke up to him kicking the seat. The flight attendant walked by a couple times, nobody was doing anything.
"I restrained him and two other passengers were already getting zip ties so we zip tied his hands an feet and seat belted him to the seat. We were 40 minutes from LAX.
"Police came onboard when we landed.''
Gino adds that he hopes to be in communication with the man's family to see if he can offer any help.
United Airlines reported there were 76 passengers on the airplane with five crew.
A spokesperson said: "On Nov. 16, local law enforcement met United flight 502 upon arrival at Los Angeles International Airport after a customer became disruptive.
"We thank our crew for helping address the situation and working to ensure the safety of everyone on board. We’ve banned this customer from future United flights."
