Narrative:

Myself and the rest of the crew arrived late to the plane and it was already boarded with passenger by a stand-by crew. The stand-by flight attendants told us about a man in the back of maintenance cabin who appeared to be intoxicated, boarded with a cocktail, and intentionally pushed one of the flight attendants because she was in his way. The gate agents said the passenger was disruptive in the gate area. The captain wanted someone to warn the passenger, and an agent manager arrived. The manager said to him 'you will not be served alcohol...' and the passenger said 'I paid a lot of money....' the agent repeated himself and asked the passenger if he understood and agreed. The passenger held up his newaspaper and read it, ignoring and not responding to the agent. I and the captain agreed, since the passenger was not cooperating, that he should be removed. The agent called the airport police. 4 officers arrived and quietly escorted the passenger off the aircraft. The passenger paused on the way out and said sarcastically to me (I was in first galley) 'you did a good job.' I never spoke to the passenger. He had no checked bags.
