This is the dramatic moment a screaming man was knocked out and dragged off an overbooked United Airlines flight by police on Sunday night.
The man, who claimed to be a doctor, was one of four selected by United to leave the plane and fly the next day.

United has appealed for volunteers who were willing to give up their seats for $800, fly the next day and stay in a hotel.
United Airlines said in a statement: ‘Flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville was overbooked. After our team looked for volunteers, one customer refused to leave the aircraft voluntarily and law enforcement was asked to come to the gate. We apologize for the overbook situation.’
