After the woman finishes, she is seen returning to her seat, saying she needs to retrieve her purse.

On the way, a male cabin crew member says: "You're going to get charged with assault."

"Fine, whatever," she replies.

An American Airlines spokeswoman said in a statement: "Prior to departure from the gate on Sunday at Miami International Airport, two passengers who were travelling together were involved in a dispute."

"Law enforcement was requested, and both passengers were removed from the aircraft."

"We thank the American crew who worked quickly to diffuse the situation. Their actions resulted in a safe environment for all of our passengers."
