The hate-spewing American Airlines passenger seen in a viral video being put in a headlock and marched off a flight also drunkenly ranted about “blue-eyed white devils” — and threatened to “take this plane down with all you motherf–kers on it,” according to court documents.
The passenger, identified as 29-year-old Florida man Shail Patel, had already been accused of hurling an antisemitic slur at a flight attendant during the wild scuffle on American Airlines Flight 2506 from his hometown of Tampa to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
He had bloodshot eyes and reeked of alcohol — and yelled at other passengers, “F–k you blue-eyed white devils I’m gonna take this plane down with all you motherf–kers on it,” according to a criminal affidavit obtained by The Post Friday.
Patel was reportedly already drunk when he got on the plane, and “began acting erratically yelling and cursing at the passengers.”
Speaking with a slurred voice, he said, “You know most of the people are white here. I’m trying to get to my home country and you all people made it harder for me to get to my home country. I’m telling you!” he declared, as other passengers looked around nervously.
At one point he reportedly slapped another passenger and spat on them.
When he was asked to get off the plane, Patel then became violent, and one fed-up passenger trying to escort him off finally had to put him in a headlock to get him under control.
The man who wrestled Patel off the plane identified himself as a police officer, and was heard ordering Patel, “Now put your hands down and don’t touch anybody! Walk! Walk! Turn around and walk!”
Thankfully, the wild episode happened while the plane was still on the ground in Tampa. The flight was reportedly delayed about 30 minutes due to the entire melee.

Shail Nitin Patel, 29, is reportedly a self-employed IT worker living in Tampa. However, he has a California driver’s license. In his wild rant, he mentioned trying to get to his “home country” but did not specify where that is. Many on social media are presuming he is originally from India, due to his name.
He was charged with three misdemeanors: disorderly intoxication and two counts of battery, and is scheduled to appear for an arraignment on April 1 in a Tampa, Florida courtroom.
Below is a copy of Patel’s mugshot, released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department.
