Shocking footage shows the moment an American Airlines passenger attacked a unsuspecting flight attendant - sneaking up behind him and sucker punching the staffer aboard a flight from Mexico to Los Angeles.
The incident transpired on Flight 377 from San Jose del Cabo to LAX on Wednesday, and saw the passenger removed from the plane after it touched down stateside.
Upon arriving at the airport, the suspect - who has not been named - was detained on suspicion of interfering with a flight crew.
If found guilty of the offense, a federal felony, the man - who allegedly threatened the male attendant before the filmed attack - could face up to 20 years in prison.
The incident reportedly started after the suspect started nonsensically mumbling to himself about 'killers' aboard the California-bound plane, reportedly whispering, 'there are 10 killers on the plane.'
At that point, a female flight attendant reportedly went back to address the man, with the the male attendant who was attacked joining to assist, passengers said.
