Narrative:

Passenger was causing a delay during security check point. I warned crew about passenger and said to keep an eye on him. Passenger was traveling with another male passenger. Passenger slept most of the flight. I was sitting in cockpit when flight attendant #2 came in and said how passenger was verbally abusive (calling her names and using 4 letter words) and loud! I went up to the passenger and told him to calm down or we would have security meet the flight. He did not care and he wanted the #2 flight attendant's name. The flight engineer came to the back and also tried to talk to the passenger (the passenger used the same language with the flight engineer). Flight engineer said 'sir, calm down or security will be waiting.' passenger didn't care. Flight engineer was ordering him to go back to his seat, passenger went back. As the plane was on final, the passenger got out of his seat and came back to our jump seat (#2 and #4). The passenger walks with a cane. I told the passenger to go back to his seat and he said he wanted to see the guys now! I told him the guys were busy and we are about to land, go situation down! We landed and security met the flight and arrested passenger. Just a little note: I talked to the passenger friend and asked him to please talk with his friend and he said 'oh what has he done now' (no help from his friend).
