United Flight 762 was traveling from Miami, Florida, to Newark, New Jersey, on Tuesday, but landed early in Orlando.

United said flight attendants were forced to restrain the passenger after she became “aggressive and disruptive.”

The restrained passenger became even more upset and tried to use her mouth to free herself.

Their name has not yet been released by authorities.

Another passenger recorded the interaction and the moment it worsened.

“Our flight attendants worked to calm the situation and protect other customers, and after landing in Orlando, authorities responded to the flight and the passenger was removed,” United said in a statement to TMZ.

“We are grateful to our team for their professionalism and ensuring the safety of our customers and their fellow United employees.”

The upset passenger apparently spat at people in a different audio recording, according to TMZ.

A witness said he saw her punching other passengers.
