Moment former NFL star Terrell Davis is handcuffed and escorted off flight by FBI agents is shown in new video - after he slammed United Airlines for 'disgusting display of injustice'

Video has emerged of the moment former NFL star Terrell Davis was handcuffed and escorted off of a United Airlines flight in what he called a 'disgusting display of injustice.'

Davis was aboard a flight with his wife and children that had just landed in Orange County from Denver when he was placed into custody by federal agents. 

And a clip from Parker Stinar of Davis' legal team at Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley shows Davis - dressed in a white hoodie and gray baseball cap - being escorted off the flight.

What led to Davis being detained is not seen in the video, though an FBI officer can clearly be seen in the frame speaking to the former running back before he stood up.

The former Broncos star alleged afterwards that during the flight, his son wanted a cup of ice, with a flight attendant ignoring or not hearing the request.

Davis said he 'calmly' reached behind himself and 'lightly' tapped the flight attendant on the arm to request a cup of ice.

The unidentified male flight attendant then shouted back 'don't hit me', Davis claims, before he left the cart to approach the front of the plane.

Davis and the flight attendant did not interact for the rest of the flight, he added.

Upon landing in Orange County, the pilot then requested all passengers remain in their seats upon arriving at the gate, with six FBI and law enforcement agents boarding the plane and allegedly placing Davis in custody.

Davis, who described himself as 'humiliated, embarrassed, powerless, and angry,' said he was not given any explanation for being placed in custody.

He was eventually released from custody after being questioned, as agents 'rightfully' determined the claims against him were 'inaccurate.'

He later told ABC's Good Morning America: 'I felt like my dignity was stripped from me right in front of my children and my family. And I want United to be held accountable for this.'

Davis' wife, Tamiko, added to GMA that she 'thought it was a joke, because what else could it be?'

Davis' wife, Tamiko, added to GMA that she 'thought it was a joke, because what else could it be?'

'Terrell, are you joking? Is this a prank?' And he just said, quietly: 'No, it's not.' And I'm looking at my sons, who are sitting right next to him, watching their dad being handcuffed.' 

Davis' attorneys at Stinar, Gould, Grieco & Hensley called the incident 'appalling and disturbing to say the least' in a previous statement to Mail Sport.

'We plan on fully investigating the events that took place and are actively contacting United Airlines in this matter,' the statement continued. 

'Mr. Davis' statement speaks for itself, and we can all agree no person should be subjected to this kind of injustice and humiliation, especially in front of their children and wife.

United told CNN that they had 'removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter.'
