Narrative:

Passenger X during taxi kept putting his seat back. I told him several times to move it forward. Just before takeoff, he got up and went to bathroom. Several passenger in last few rows began to tell me he was causing trouble and was very drunk. Passenger had trouble unlocking bathroom door and tried forcing it. I called purser to advise captain that a passenger was up and asked flight attendant #3 to assist. We asked passenger to take seat in last row. Flight attendant #3 asked if he was drinking and he said yes. Flight attendant #3 told him he must remain in seat and obey instructions of crew. He also advised him that he cannot drink alcohol. Passenger X responded '*@#& you.' this is when I called captain to return to gate. Police arrived and passenger resisted arrest.
