The pitfalls of apparently mixing alcohol and air travel were taken to a new level when an evidently intoxicated man was constrained to his seat with duct tape on an international flight.
Iceland Air said the man went on a rampage on a New Year's Eve flight from Reykjavik to New York, hitting, screaming at and spitting on other passengers.
Passengers took matter into their own hands, taping the man to his seat.
Andy Ellwood tweeted a photo of the disruptive passenger that a friend of his, who was on board the flight, had snapped and wrote on his blog that the man became unruly after drinking all of the duty-free liquor on board.
"He was restrained by passengers and crew and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight," Iceland Air said in a statement to ABC News.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken by police to an area hospital where he was treated for alcohol poisoning. Port Authority police wouldn't confirm that the man in the picture was the person they took into custody, but said he had not been charged.
