There are unruly passengers, and then there are unruly passengers. A man on a flight from Hong Kong to Vladivostok on Siberia Airlines would appear to be the latter, based on images of how he was restrained Wednesday.

The passenger on Flight 546 on Monday was allegedly drunk and insulting to other passengers, according to Vostok Media.

In a video of the incident, passengers appear to attack the man, hitting and kicking him as he goes to the ground.

Around half a dozen passengers subdued the man, and seatbelts and tape were used to tie him down in the aisle. When the plane landed in Vladivostok, the man was detained by local police.
