VIDEO: Man Arrested After Alleged Anti-Semitic Rant on Flight

A passenger onboard Delta #1822 flight on Thanksgiving eve was arrested after he allegedly went on an anti-Semitic rant in mid-air.

According to WXIA-TV, 37-year-old David Toaff was arrested by Atlanta police after the flight from Washington D.C. landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Video from passenger Jordan Dale on Twitter shows him protesting and resisting arrest. Per Dale, Toaff asked "all Jews to raise their hands" on the plane.

Today a man on my plane went on an anti-Semitic tirade and demanded "all Jews raise their hands" so he could "indentify them." Later, during the arrest he protested and resisted arrest.

Incredible work by Atlanta police, I highly recommend watching the whole video. pic.twitter.com/1BQif8Cvfk

While trying to avoid being arrested, Toaff asks officers "What did I do wrong?"

Which prompts someone off camera to yell back, "You're a Nazi."

Atlanta Police said Toaff "continued the disturbance" and would not provide officers I.D., per the WXIA-TV report. Watch the entire video above to see how well the police handled the unruly passenger.

It's not the first time a "naughty passenger" disrupted a flight experience for everyone else, and sadly it won't be the last.
