Delta Air Lines Passenger Launches 'Anti-Semitic Tirade' During Flight, Arrested
A Delta Air Lines passenger allegedly went on an anti-Semitic tirade during a flight from Washington D.C. to Atlanta. According to a post on Twitter, the man had demanded “all Jews raise their hands” so he could “identify them.”
Jordan Dale, a co-passenger, shared the video on Twitter that showed the man protesting and resiting arrest as several officers tried to control him.
According to Dale, the man "whispered obscenities to the people around him, then started yelling, asking who was Jewish on the plane and asked all Jews to raise their hands and identify themselves." After the plane landed in Atlanta, law enforcement removed him.
The unruly passenger, identified as David Toaff, 37, was intercepted at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport arrival gate.
"I'm not a bad person," Toaff reportedly told officers before asking, "What did I do wrong?"
A bystander off camera responds: “You’re a Nazi.”
Toaff was taken to Clayton County Jail and charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct, police told WXIA-TV.
Delta Air Lines spokesperson confirmed to International Business Times about the incident, saying the arrest was made "due to a customer’s behavior onboard the flight."
