- description: A man who has made a name for himself as a model, designer and actor is in custody, after passengers reportedly had to tackle him on a flight headed from Chicago to Orange County, Calif. Arash Durrani, 26, who is known professionally as Ash Durrani, was arrested Tuesday night. He was hauled off after passengers restrained him with their belts for hours, as he behaved aggressively and grabbed women on United Flight 473. The flight was headed from O'Hare International Airport to John Wayne Airport in Orange County. CBS Los Angeles reports Durrani will be charged with a federal offense for interfering with a flight crew. WBBM Newsradio's Mike Krauser reports 45 minutes into the flight, passengers say Durrani started pacing the aisle. He appeared drunk, they say, and was harassing people. Vicki Manning was on the flight. "He actually verbally threatened another passenger," Manning said. "All the passenger had said to him was, 'You know, you need to sit down.'" Manning's husband, Thomas, recorded the incident on his cell phone. Six passengers jumped into action, holding Durrani down and restraining him with their belts. "I'm thinking, 'They're going to land the plane. This can't go on,'" Thomas Manning said. On their cell phone video, Durrani could be heard screaming, "Help me! You're hurting me!" Durrani was restrained for nearly three hours, until the plane landed as scheduled and police took him away. The crowd cheered as Orange County sheriff's deputies took him away. United says procedures were followed. KCBS-TV reports Durrani used to live in Orange County, Calif., but now lives in Virginia. He was returning to Orange County to deal with a court appearance that had been scheduled for Thursday morning. Durrani's IMDB biography says was born in Alexandria, Va., and interned in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., before coming to California while in college. Once there, he founded a production company specializing in Web film shorts co-branding products with trendsetting elements. The company sold for quadruple its initial investment two years ago, IMDB reported.
