Footage of Chinese police officers escorting a man out of a plane after he refused to leave when asked by the cabin crew.

The video, shot in March 2016 at Beijing Airport, China, shows the officers forcing the man out of the plane while remaining passengers clap.

"The guy in the video had been drinking and was too drunk to fly. The cabin crew asked him to leave the plane," the filmer wrote online.

"After he refused the police were called to forcibly disembark the man together with his sober and very embarrassed wife."

"The flight was delayed by nearly 2 hours," he added.
