The video, posted by Audra D. Bridges, is taken from an aisle seat on a commercial flight from Chicago to Louisville.

The video shows three men wearing security jackets grabbing the passenger, who is heard screaming, and dragging him by his arms down the aisle.

The video, which includes dismay from at least one passenger, ends before anything else is shown.

A United representative confirmed to the Courier-Journal that a passenger had been taken off a flight in Chicago.

Bridges posted that the flight was overbooked and passengers were selected at random to be removed.

No other details have been released.
