This is the disturbing mid-air moment a female passenger on a flight in the US screams that she is a victim of human trafficking as horrified passengers look on.

The shocking footage, now seen by over 3.2 million people on one platform alone, emerged on a Southwest Airlines flight from New York to Kansas City on 14th November.

It starts with the fair-haired woman standing in the aisle surrounded by aircrew trying to restrain her.

As one grabbed her wrists, the woman screamed: “Get the f*ck off. I am being trafficked. I am being human trafficked.”

Then when she saw she was being filmed by another passenger she yelled desperately: “This is going to go on TikTok so I look crazy.

“But I am being human trafficked. I am being human trafficked.”

One flight attendant seemed to be able to slip some wrist restraints on the passenger but she kept shouting: “Don’t believe it. I am being human trafficked.”

She carried on: “If they’re holding your family hostage, don’t believe it, they’re using f*cking emotional manipulation, this isn’t real!”

The footage ended as she let out a scream with aircrew apparently about to drag her away down the aisle.

Local media reported that some passengers claimed on social media that they had had to intervene to help the flight attendants.

Southwest Airlines has not commented on the mid-air drama and it is not clear what happened to the woman when the plane landed.

Social media users appeared split, with some indicating that she was clearly suffering from mental issues while others said that her claims should be taken seriously.
