An American Airlines passenger was kicked off a flight after complaining about a fellow flyer putting too many bags in the overhead locker.
A video filmed by another person on the plane, shows the aftermath of the initial confrontation as a sitting passenger angrily saying: "This guy put his luggage up here, now we don't have any space."
The disagreement escalated as a flight attendant had to get involved to try and calm down the angry passenger.
The passenger at the heart of it, wearing a yellow shirt with his hair in a top knot, appeared in distress as the flight attendant told him he was delaying boarding.
But the passenger carried on, saying: "He's got no space! Look! That guy put his luggage up here!" The flight attendant who is helping another passenger with their things stops and tries to adopt a serious tone. Pointing at the passenger, he said: "Sir, I'm going to ask one more time. You need to stop with this whole luggage situation."

The passenger then got angry with the airline employee pointing his finger. He says: "You point your finger at me one more time, I'm calling the police."
Appearing to have made his mind up about something, the flight attendant says: "You're going to call the police on me? Okay." He then walks away.
The video, which was posted on social media platform Reddit, then jumped forward with a different airline official in a high-viz vest, escorting the irate passenger off the plane. His travel partner is asked if she will also get off the plane, which she agrees to do.

They added: "I left out the horrendous racist comments he made to the gentleman who put his luggage in the overhead bin."
The passenger was then seen walking off the plane, carrying a number of bags. Their identity is unknown at this stage.
This came months after footage showing the moment a "crazy plane lady" had a dramatic meltdown on an American Airlines flight went viral.
The gripping video, which has already blown up and gone viral just like other videos depicting Tiffany Gomas' meltdown, shows the woman angrily breezing past airline employees and law enforcement officers demanding her ID as she exits the plane.
One of the officers can be seen following her through the airport, constantly asking her to stop as she appears to call someone on her phone and tell them people were following her.
When she finally does stop to speak with another American Airlines employee and a cop in the terminal, she tells them: "I will never fly with y'all ever again. I wanna know what happens with this flight right here." She angrily points at the plane she had just
