Passenger who arrived too late for his flight began kicking the plane door before being arrested, report says

• A man was filmed kicking a plane door after missing his flight in Bogota, Colombia.

• The incident involved a flight to Cartagena at El Dorado International Airport.

• The man attacked airport employees, was arrested and then deported, El Tiempo reported.

A tourist was filmed screaming and repeatedly kicking a plane door after missing his flight.

The incident occurred last Friday at El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia, involving a Latam Airlines flight to Cartagena, El Tiempo newspaper reported.

The man assaulted airport workers before walking down the jetway toward the plane’s door, the report said.

A video posted online shows the man repeatedly kicking the plane’s closed door and banging on the window in a futile attempt to board.

At one point, he can be seen trying to use a joystick that controls the jet bridge.

El Tiempo reported that the man, believed to be American, was arrested after the incident and later deported from Colombia.

“This disruptive passenger first attacked the ground staff who were serving the passengers because they informed him that the flight had already closed and that he had arrived late,” Daniel Gallo, president of the Colombian Aviation Workers Union, told the newspaper.

“He immediately forcibly headed towards the boarding bridge and, unable to enter the plane, decided to violate flight security,” he added.

Latam Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside of normal business hours.
