Narrative:

Male passenger was unruly and incoherent during flight, yelling and kicking. I eventually had to have him put in the last row of seats and have him handcuffed. Airport police and paramedics met us and he was led off the plane by them once at the gate. I had to declare an emergency on taxi in. The man was getting so bad. All suggested procedures in our operating manual were followed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that this occurred near gtf, mt. The flight had originated in sea, nonstop to msp. The aircraft was an A-320. There were 4 flight attendants and they were all female which made this event more challenging. Luckily, there were several passenger riding male crew members in the passenger cabin. The unruly passenger had been standing and annoying the other passenger. He would not stay seated. The last outburst occurred when he (a 30 yr old male) was standing on the escape slide bubble on one of the rear galley doors. That is when they subdued him, handcuffing him. It took 3 of the passenger riding mal crew members to do this. Reporter felt that passenger was affected by drugs of some sort. He planned a diversion before finding out he had those male crew members in the back. He lauded the company's operations manual for its information. He had performed all the necessary items prior to this referencing. However, the company has a complete report on event.
