Video of the incident shows other passengers defending the men and police appear reluctant to intervene.
Mr Gayle said that it was “a humbling moment” when passengers told the men to sit back down, adding: “Who knows if this was a race thing. However, he and his 2 friends are the only black people on the flight.”Thursday’s flight departed three hours late with new cabin crew, but with the two men still onboard.
