Shocking video footage captured the moment police in Houston hauled a Frontier Airlines pilot off a plane in handcuffs and put him in the back of a cop car.
Seymour Walker, 45, was arrested Thursday at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for an assault-family violence warrant, according to Storyful.
Houston Police officers arrested Walker on the plane, which was prepping to depart of Dallas-Fort Worth after a warrant was issued by the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public Safety.
Once passengers deplaned the initial flight they took Walker into “custody without incident,” police told CBS News.
“The activity occurred prior to the start of boarding for Flight 3195 scheduled from IAH to Dallas Forth Worth (DFW). A replacement crew member was not immediately available and therefore the flight was canceled,” Frontier told the station in a statement.
Passengers on that flight were offered a full refund, credit or a spot on the next available Frontier flight.
“Airlines report incidents such as this to the FAA office that oversees them, and we investigate all pilot-related issues,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
