Passenger Forcibly Dragged Off Plane by Arms and Belt After Alleged Tantrum Over Changing Seats
A passenger was forcibly dragged off a Thai Lion Air flight after his request for a bigger seat was allegedly denied by the flight crew Video footage obtained by PEOPLE shows the man pulled out of his seat and into the aisle by police A fellow passenger can be heard calling the man "f------ selfish" as he was removedVideo footage shows a passenger forcibly dragged off a plane after throwing an alleged tantrum on Wednesday, June 25, a Thai Lion Air flight departing Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok was delayed about an hour so authorities could remove a disruptive traveler. The man — shown in videos obtained by PEOPLE wearing an orange Garfield t-shirt and green cargo shorts — allegedly became upset after his request for a different seat from the one he was assigned was denied by flight attendants. 'At first, I thought we couldn't take off because the man had fallen ill,' said one man who recorded video footage, according to Viral Press. 'It turned out he just thought the economy seat was too crowded and insisted on moving to the emergency exit. The flight attendants had to call the police because he refused to cooperate." The denial allegedly resulted in an outburst, lasting nearly an hour. To put an end to the delay, authorities boarded the Boeing 737 to remove the traveler. Amid his ongoing refusal, two officers grabbed his arms and dragged him onto the ground and into the aisle. Then, the video shows the man grabbing his phone to record the incident himself. In another part of the video taken from a different angle, a female on board can be heard saying 'he's f------ selfish,' as he's pulled down the aisle. The removal required one officer to drag him by the arms and another dragging him by the belt. Another passenger is heard yelling 'get out the plane.' Thai Lion Air did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. This isn't the first time footage of flyers removed off a flight went viral. Earlier this month, on June 17, a 32-year-old female New York resident was restrained and removed from a Southwest flight from LaGuardia to Kansas City. Footage showed her pulling the hair of and spitting on a fellow flyer. Following her outburst, the passenger was removed from the flight and subsequently charged with aggravated assault, according to a statement from the Port Authority Police obtained by PEOPLE.

Another clip filmed by a fellow passenger that surfaced online showed the woman finally being removed from the plane. Port Authority Police had to roll the woman out of the gate area strapped to a gurney. Several of her fellow passenger can be seen filming the scene in the background. 'The suspect was transported to the hospital for evaluation and subsequently placed in the custody of the New York City Department of Correction,' a Port Authority PD representative said.

Toronto casino facing $350k fine after impromptu after-hours party on gaming floor
Ontario's alcohol and gaming regulator says a Toronto casino is facing a $350,000 fine after a performer hosted an impromptu party on the gaming floor following a concert marked by "widespread intoxication, disorderly behaviour" and numerous incidents. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario says the Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto was handed the penalty after allowing an after-party to take place on the casino floor before dawn on Sept. 24. The commission says an electronic dance music event was hosted in the theatre next to the casino and saw alleged assaults, drug overdoses and acts of public indecency. It alleges casino management approved an unscheduled request for a performing artist to host an after-party on the gaming floor with more than 400 guests, without any prior risk assessment or planning. The commission says the casino's security was unable to control the floor, with witnesses reporting that an attendee was climbing onto slot machines. It says the penalty addresses the casino's "critical failures" in reporting the incidents, employee training and managing disturbances. It says the casino has 15 days to appeal the decision. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 26, 2025.

Woman assaulted after road accident dies
A woman who was attacked following a road crash in Leicester has died, police have said. Officers were called to reports a BMW had overturned on Aylestone Road, near to the junction with Welford Road, at about 17:30 BST on Tuesday.

The victim, a woman in her 50s, was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham but died on Thursday afternoon. The suspect was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, possessing Class B drugs with intent to supply, assault of an emergency worker, dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drugs and failing to provide a specimen. Det Insp Emma Matts said: "This woman was sadly subjected to a serious assault and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Her family and close friends have remained at her bedside, and tragically she died this afternoon. "Since the incident, a dedicated team of detectives has worked tirelessly pursuing all lines of inquiry to establish the full circumstances around what happened. Those inquiries will very much continue as we now move the incident to a murder investigation. "I would like to thank those members of the public who have contacted with information about what they saw. "But I would also still like to appeal to anyone who saw anything connected to this incident or filmed any footage - whether that was of the vehicle being driven beforehand through the city centre, the collision itself or the assault – and hasn't spoken to officers to please get in touch."
