Unruly passenger duct-taped to seat breaks his silence after ‘abusing plane crew’ during mid-air rampage

A RAGING passenger who was duct-taped to his seat after he allegedly exploded into a hate-fuelled rant has spoken out for the first time.

before air crew booted him off the flight from Dallas, Texas to Newark, New Jersey nine days ago.

The Arizona realtor allegedly spewed racist and homophobic slurs at his seatmate and cabin crew in a mid-air meltdown on September 5.

Now a court has heard that Lundeen had knocked back two screwdriver cocktails and blacked out the memory of the chaotic incident, as reported by .

Speaking to District Court Commissioner George Haag, Lundeen said: “I don’t remember any of what happened.”

In audio obtained by the news outlet, the American appeared to be confused about why he was even in court.

“I assaulted a police officer? Is that what it says?” Lundeen said. “I don’t have my glasses.”

Haag then read the allegations to him. “Oh my God. What a mess,” Lundeen said, adding: “I don’t remember any of it.”

Shocking images from the incident show a man strapped tightly to his first-class seat with silver tape coiled around his body – including his head.

Lundeen has as the individual who allegedly hurled the N-word at a flight attendant.

Eyewitnesses said that the realtor “became increasingly unruly”, shouting profanities and waking up a sleeping passenger while asking another if she loved Jesus, cops said.

The allegedly raging man had been sat in first class beside rabbi and author Jonathan Cahn.

Cahn told the that the pair had been debating religion when “in a split second” he flipped.

The rabbi had been telling Lundeen about his experience of God when the realtor “changed”.

“His face changed, his voice changed, and he said… almost in a whisper, he was like, ‘I have something to tell you’ and he said, “Bulls**t””, claimed Cahn.

The author then said the man tried to smash his laptop – before raging against flight attendants.

Cahn alleged that Lundeen threatened: “I’m gonna punch your f****** Jewish face in.”

Police eventually bundled the man off the plane – but not before he allegedly hit an officer in the chest.

Long Realty, the firm for who Lundeen worked, has fired the man following his unbelievable outburst.

The Arizona-based real estate firm ended their “affiliation” with Lundeen after “concerning criminal charges” emerged from the incident.
