A video obtained by CBS in Los Angeles appears to show a 13-year-old boy being duct taped to his seat on an American Airlines flight.
According to witnesses the boy had become physical toward his mother about an hour into the flight from Maui to LA and at one point the boy tried to kick out a window on the aircraft.
In the video above an airline staff member can be seen approaching the boy with duct tape as two to three passengers appeared to restrain him.
The flight was diverted back to Honolulu and the boy was taken into custody in Honolulu.
