Comedian mimics Alfredo flight attendant who duct-taped man to seat - and goes viral

A comedian's imitation of a flight attendant who duct-taped a rowdy passenger to his seat left viewers in hysterics.

YouTube personality The Real Spark masqueraded as 'air steward Alfredo Rivera' in a hilarious fake interview about the incident.

The comedian joked about wrapping Maxwell Berry up like a 'mummy' after he allegedly groped flight attendants.

Berry, 22, is also accused of punching a member of the cabin crew as well as hurling abuse at passengers and crew.

The shocking incident took place on a Frontier Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Miami on Saturday.

Now James Bates, who runs The Real Spark, has published a mock interview pretending to be an air steward on the flight.

He said: "I'm sitting in the jump seat and I'm just looking at him acting a damn fool.

"I said that's enough. I got up and walked over there... at this point he was touching all over my co-worker's breast and where he f***ed up is when he touched my titties because I don't play that.

"I took out the duct tape, he got scared and started stuttering, saying 'hold up wait a minute, something ain't right'. I said 'yeah we about to mummify your a** now boy.'

"We wrapped him up better than any Christmas present you ever seen, he won't be coming on no more Frontier flights at all."

Mr Bates' appears to have based his character on a passenger called Alfredo River, who was on the flight and spoke to the media after the incident.

The real Alfredo said: "He (Berry) was starting to get aggressive and basically attacked the male flight attendant."

Alfredo filmed the crew use duct tape to secure Berry in his seat.

The obnoxious passenger claimed his parents were worth two million dollars as he hurled abuse at other people and crew members.

Berry was met by Miami Police when the plane landed and he was immediately taken into custody.

Frontier Airlines issued the following statement: “During a flight from Philadelphia to Miami on July 31, a passenger made inappropriate physical contact with a flight attendant and subsequently physically assaulted another flight attendant.

“As a result, the passenger needed to be restrained until the flight landed in Miami and law enforcement arrived.

"The flight attendants will be, as required in such circumstances, relieved of flying pending completion of investigation of the events.”

Berry has been charged with three counts of battery and is currently in custody in Miami-Dade County Jail - TGK Correctional Centre.
