If you don\u2019t get off, we\u2019ll call in security.\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Fine, call security, I\u2019m not getting off the plane.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bridges said the man wasn&#8217;t being violent with security and police officers who responded, but did say he was &#8220;kind of [flailing] his arms and trying to keep them away from him and ultimately they had to use the force, as you can see in the video.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The shocked passengers berated United employees who boarded the plane in the ejected flyers&#8217; place. <\/p>\n<p>Late Monday, United CEO Oscar Munoz issued a statement apologizing for having to &#8220;re-accommodate these customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does that look like re-accommodation to you?&#8221; Carlson asked. &#8220;There\u2019s no mention of the fact that this guy is bloody and unconscious.
