Two men threaten to kill passenger and are escorted off Air Asia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket

Two Australian men have been filmed threatening passengers on a plane with one threatening to kill another passenger before they were escorted off by crew for his rowdy behaviour on board.

The incident occurred on an early morning AirAsia AK822 flight, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Phuket, Thailand on December 26.

The two men, one in a black Nike dri-fit cap with a rat’s tail and the other in a red t-shirt with a bum bag, got into a verbal altercation with flight crew and passengers.

In the video, crew members are seen trying to calm the man down but were unable to before the situation escalated. 

The man in the red shirt is told he needs to get off the flight before he blames a passenger pointing at them and telling the other man, ‘make sure you get that c**t’.

Before he is escorted away by flight attendants, the man walks down the aisle, points at a passenger and makes a throat-slitting gesture and says ‘you’re dead’.

As he walks off the aircraft, passengers begin clapping.

The other man with the rat’s tail turns around in his seat and is heard saying, ‘It’s on boys’.

In the last video, the man with the rat’s tail is told he needs to get off the plane prompting an outburst from the passenger.

‘My brother who are you?’ he says. ‘You need to listen’.

He then seeks to find out who made the complaint for him to be booted from the flight repeatedly yelling ‘c***’.

‘Which one was it?..Was it you?’ he says. ‘Watch, it’s on you little rat.’ 

He is escorted away as passengers cheer, and he even joins in as he is taken away.

The man who uploaded the footage commended flight staff on their professionalism.

‘Special kudos to the attendant who maintained his composure, dealt with the situation professionally and kept things under control. Keep flying high brother,’ he wrote.

Social media users online reprimanded the pairs behaviour.

‘So much anger, control your emotions fellas it really isn’t worth it,’ one person commented.

‘They look and sound like they are from the area,’ another said.

‘You can leave the area but the area never leaves you,’ a third wrote.
