Passenger reportedly kicked off plane after telling flight attendant to wear mask

Passengers aboard an Allegiant Air plane reacted in disbelief when a man was kicked off the flight after apparently telling a flight attendant to wear a face mask, according to a report.

“I just asked somebody to put on their face mask,” the man is heard saying Monday in a viral video shot by a fellow passenger on the tarmac in Punta Gorda, Florida, Newsweek reported.

The footage shows an airline employee — who is wearing a mask — repeatedly telling the man, whom she refers to as “Mr. Peterman,” to get off the plane.

“Either you come off or I get the law enforcement,” she tells him to the amazement of other passengers.

“You are totally wrong,” one flier says to the woman. “This is ridiculous,” says another.
