Wild video shows a drunk passenger being tased by police officers at Dallas Love Field Airport after having a meltdown when he was denied boarding his flight.
The unidentified flyer allegedly flipped when he was refused permission to board his flight around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday night, according to WFAA.
Cellphone footage shows the man on his knees holding his hands in the air as three Dallas police officers close in around and try to talk to him in front of a Whataburger near gate 12.
“Don’t get anywhere f—king near me,” he yells at the three officers as they approach while other travelers watch on.
One of the three cops suddenly whips out a Taser.
“Yeah, pull that Taser,” he says, and hurls more expletives at the officers.
“I’m not intoxicated at all,” the man assures them.
Two of the officers move in quickly and grab the man’s arms and attempt to pull them behind his back, video shows.
He was able to wriggle himself from their grasp and then landed on his stomach — which is when the police deployed the Taser on his back, causing the passenger to yell out in pain as police cuffed him.
“Get his ass,” a bystander yells before the video cuts out.
The Dallas Police Department said in a statement that the man was denied boarding after causing a disturbance.
The man, who has not been identified, was charged with public intoxication.
