Narrative:

Flight XXX, abq-dfw, departed approximately 45 mins late due to flight attendant legalities (minimum layover time). A passenger appeared to be asleep for the duration of the flight. During taxi in, I opened the closet door aft of first class. The passenger arose from his seat and put his luggage in the aisle. I politely asked him to situation down/remove his luggage from the aisle. Instead, he ran up the aisle ahead of me and stood in the forward entry area. The captain turned off the fasten seatbelt sign and the jetbridge was approaching. I again politely asked him to move back, so that I could disarm/open the door. He would not move. I crawled over his luggage in order to disarm/open the door. As soon as the door was open, he ran his luggage into my legs, and ran over my feet. The impact slammed me into the wall. The passenger continued up jetbridge.
