Unruly plane passenger gagged and taped to his seat

A passenger on a flight became so unruly he was TAPED to his seat by angry fellow travellers.

The bound and gagged man had apparently gone crazy two hours into the flight heading for New York.

He had attacked one woman, tried to spit at people and screamed the plane was going to crash.

Passenger Andy Ellwood, who took this photo, wrote an account of the incident on his Tumblr page.

"(Passenger) drank all of his duty free liquor on the flight from Iceland to JFK yesterday," Mr Ellwood wrote.

"When he became unruly, (i.e. trying to choke the woman next to him and screaming the plane was going to crash), fellow passengers subdued him and tie him up for the rest of the flight.

"He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed."

The man, who’s name has not yet been released, was arrested upon landing at JFK.

He was taken to hospital but was not later charged with any offence.
