Narrative:
Restrained unruly passenger. About an hour into the flight passenger became unruly and very abusive toward our flight attendants. He was very drunk and would not situation in his seat even with the seat belt sign on and was told he would be arrested upon arrival at jfk. He said he did not care and started ranting and raving and actually struck 3 flight attendants and 1 passenger. Mr X then ran towards the front of the aircraft and the purser thought he was about to gain access to the cockpit. I then had him restrained with flex cuffs and put back aft. Balance of the flight he kicked passenger and flight attendants and was spitting and cursing on them as they walked by him. He was arrested upon arrival at jfk. I filled out the appropriate paperwork at the port authority/authorized police station along with 2 other flight attendants.
