'Do not hit him again'
A father in a beige blazer is seen grabbing a heavily tattooed man and placing him in a headlock as he repeatedly shouts, "You a p***y".The attacker, who was with his wife and children, accused the tattooed man of aggressively confronting his family though witnesses claim that the victim did nothing wrong.
The video also showed several passengers attempting to step in and try to dissolve the situation. But as soon as the scene starts to calm, the man in the blazer suddenly swings a punch at the tattooed man. "Do not hit him again. Do not hit him again. Stay back", passengers shouted.
Later in the video, the man in the blazer made an attempt to defend his actions by saying," Tell them what happened! He approached me with my family. Don't play with my family.
I will be in jail for you approaching my family. I would die for my family. I will beat your a**."
After the incident, Dallas police confirmed they responded to the incident, but there is still no news of any arrests.
'He started punching the man'
A fellow passenger, Caitlin Johnson, uploaded the video to her Instagram and TikTok. Johnson spoke with the Daily Mail about the incident, she said, "He walked up and accidentally bumped into the man's wife. The man started mouthing off to him, and he just ignored it.
"After they both got on the plane, the man walked back with his wife and two kids and came back up and started yelling to the man with tattoos, asking, "What's your address?" and he actually gave it to him," she continued.
"Then he started punching the man probably 4-5 times before we even started recording. The man with tattoos literally did nothing wrong. It was nuts", she added. As of now, the airlines have not yet commented on the incident.
