A raging passenger from Brooklyn allegedly went off on a drunken, racist and expletive-filled tirade aboard an Atlanta-bound Delta flight<\/a> from New York City, leading to his removal from the plane before takeoff. <\/p>\n

Jerome Anixter, 60, was escorted off Delta flight 2342 by Port Authority police officers around 1:30 p.m. Thursday after his onboard meltdown, law enforcement sources told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the aircraft after receiving a call about a seemingly intoxicated passenger causing a disturbance onboard while the flight prepared for departure from John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, the sources said.<\/p>\n

Video circulating online and reportedly filmed by a passenger onboard the flight captured the unruly passenger <\/a>hurling the N-word and yelling, \u201cCan you believe these mother f\u2013kers?!\u201d while being escorted off the aircraft by Port Authority officers.<\/p>\n

The footage was shared on X by @thenewsjunkie<\/a>, who said the filming passenger claimed the man allegedly yelled \u201cDeath to America\u201d and pretended to shoot fellow passengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post wasn\u2019t immediately able to confirm that the man in the video is Anixter, however, the details of the flight match those provided by sources. <\/p>\n

\u201cDelta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior, and we thank law enforcement for their assistance in removing this unruly customer,\u201d a spokesperson for the airline said in a statement to The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe apologize to the customers on Delta flight DL2342 for this experience and any delay in their travels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Atlanta-bound flight, with 160 passengers and six crewmembers onboard, departed from JFK airport 45 minutes late after the incident unfolded.<\/p>\n

After being booted from the aircraft, Anixter was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what led to his alleged outburst onboard. <\/a><\/p>\n
