Real estate agent duct-taped on American Airlines flight exposed

A man who had to be restrained and taped to a chair has been fired from his senior position at an estate agency.

Arthur Lundeen, 67, was fired by Long Realty following his alleged racist and homophobic outburst aboard American Airlines Flight 618 on Sept. 3.

Lundin’s LinkedIn says he was a vice president at Long Realty in Tucson, but his profile has been removed from the site.

His LinkedIn profile has also been deleted.

His flight had to be changed after he allegedly called a flight attendant the N-word and made homophobic remarks.

A female passenger tried to help, but the out-of-control passenger allegedly pushed her, causing the three male passengers to stand up and try to hold him back. Staff handed them cable ties and duct tape as Lundeen allegedly bit one male passenger and attempted to bite another.

“Just like a light switch, suddenly the silence gave way to screams and chaos,” said Juan Mejia, a retired police officer returning home from a gun show.

With the help of passenger Richard Olenick, Juan managed to restrain the man using zip ties and wrapping him with duct tape.

Kevin Kaplan, CEO of Long Companies, said, “While real estate agents are independent contractors, the proper conduct of everyone associated with Long Realty is of the utmost importance to us.

“To this end, the individual is no longer associated with Long Realty.”

American Airlines said: “The safety of our customers and crew members is our top priority and we do not tolerate violence.”

“We thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for their understanding.”

The FBI confirmed that Lundeen was arrested by Maryland Transportation Police.

He has been charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, TMZ reports.

Lundeen was released without bail and has a trial date set for Oct. 19.
