A man launched into a racist tirade minutes after boarding JetBlue flight 1760 from Jamaica to New York on October 20. The man reportedly became enraged and began cursing after a flight attendant told him that the overhead compartments were full and that he should refrain from opening them. The man then began arguing with a female passenger over their seats. “This N-word is in my seat, all of you guys on this plane are n-words, you’re a n-word, you’re an n-word. And I can say the n-word anytime I want to, ” is what the man is alleged to have said to a plane full of Jamaicans. The man claims that he was hit in the stomach by the female passenger.
He was later removed from the flight in handcuffs to the cheers of passengers, several passengers aboard the flight took shots at the man as he was being escorted from the plane. The man continued with his racist behavior, doing the Nazi goose step as he was led away by two officers through Norman Manley International Airport.
