A wasted 60-year-old Brooklyn man turned a routine Delta boarding at JFK into a full-blown cabin circus Thursday, screaming “Death to America,” pretending to shoot fellow passengers, then dropping the N-word and a string of other slurs while Port Authority cops hauled him off the Atlanta-bound jet.
Jerome Anixter allegedly launched into the drunken tirade on Delta Flight 2342 as the plane sat at the gate preparing for departure around 1:30 p.m., law enforcement sources told The Post. Officers were called after reports of an intoxicated passenger disrupting the cabin.
Video posted to X by a passenger and shared widely shows the bald, Guess T-shirt-wearing doofus grinning, gesturing, and mouthing off as officers escorted him through the aisle. At one point he can be heard yelling “Can you believe these motherf–kers?!” while hurling the racial slur, according to the footage and the passenger who recorded it.
That same passenger claimed Anixter had earlier shouted “Death to America” and made gun noises while pointing at people around him. Some travelers on the packed flight reportedly started clapping as he was removed. The clip quickly went viral, with viewers noting the uncanny resemblance to a certain action-movie star and marveling at how completely wasted he appeared.Viewfromthewing
Once off the plane, Anixter was arrested and hit with charges of assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration, sources said. The Atlanta-bound flight, carrying 160 passengers and six crew members, finally pushed back 45 minutes late.
Delta issued a statement saying it has “zero tolerance for disruptive behavior” and thanked law enforcement for removing the unruly passenger. The airline apologized to customers for the experience and the delay.
What set off the meltdown remains unclear. The Post reached out to Anixter for comment. In the meantime, the rest of the cabin got to Atlanta only a little behind schedule, while the Brooklyn doofus got upgraded to a holding cell.
