Hour posted that ANA staff "did their best" to diffuse the situation.
According to Japan Today, the airline believes the American seen in the video was intoxicated and he was asked to leave the plane. He initially resisted and hit a female passenger. After being deplaned, the 44-year-old man allegedly tried to choke an ANA employee. He was arrested in Japan and has since been charged with assault.
The flight, which was already delayed due to local weather conditions, took off about an hour and 40 minutes behind schedule due to the altercation.
