This is the moment a woman is removed from a plane screaming and swearing at police after refusing to put her dog in a pet carrier.

The shocking incident happened on a United Express flight, a branch of United Airlines, that was about to take-off from Salt Lake City to Chicago when things took a drastic turn.

After allegedly being asked by staff to put the dog into the box, the passenger refused. Police were then called who had to forcibly eject her off the plane.

The person who filmed the video, a Mr Adownie, later uploaded it to YouTube and subtitled it saying that her dog had been 'growling and snapping at the crew.'

He adds that she refused to use the carrier, and that she also allegedly swore at the member of staff.

'Bad idea lady,' says Mr Adownie.

The woman is clearly flustered by the incident as she sits in her seat and puffs out her cheeks.

But things are going to take a much more serious turn.

The plane returns to the gate where the police are called to diffuse the situation.

An two officers enters the cabin one says to the woman: 'Is this your dog?'

To which she replies: 'Yes it's my dog.'

The woman's face falls as she sees two police men marching down the aisle towards her

UNITED AIRLINES RULES ON PET TRAVEL United allows domesticated cats, dogs, rabbits and birds to travel accompanied in the aircraft cabin on most flights within the U.S. An in-cabin pet may be carried in addition to a carry-on bag and is subject to a $125 service charge each way. There is an additional $125 service charge for each stopover of more than four hours within the U.S. or more than 24 hours outside of the U.S. A pet traveling in cabin must be carried in an approved hard-sided or soft-sided kennel. The kennel must fit completely under the seat in front of the customer and remain there at all times. The maximum dimensions for hard-sided kennels are 17.5 inches long x 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high (44 cm x 30 cm x 19 cm). The recommended maximum dimensions for soft-sided kennels are 18 inches long x 11 inches wide x 11 inches high (46 cm x 28 cm x 28 cm). Soft-sided pet carriers may exceed these dimensions slightly, as they are collapsible and able to conform to under-seat space without blocking the aisle. With the exception of birds, there may only be one pet per kennel, and the animal must be able to stand up and turn around comfortably. Two birds may travel in the same kennel.

The officer continues: 'The captain is requesting that you get off the flight so you'll need to take your dog with you.'

The woman then says she wants her money back first, to which the officer says that needs to be sorted once off the plane.

'This is the worst aeroplane I've ever been on,' she says before the policeman tells her she is 'holding up the whole plane.'

'I don't care, you're holding me up,' shouts the woman.

The passenger is warned she will go to jail if she continues, to which she replies: 'I'm not going to go to jail mister, you're looking to the wrong lady.'

The officer then reaches down to collect the dog, which leads the woman to screech out in anger.

'This is my dog and I'm going to sue this country,' she yells.

The woman is then physically restrained before being led off the flight, and she is followed out by a man who was seated next to her as the action unfolded.

She can be clearly heard screeching, screaming and swearing as she is led off onto the tarmac and into the terminal.

A spokesperson for United Airlines told MailOnline Travel: 'SkyWest flight 6227, operating as United Express from Salt Lake City to Chicago, returned to the gate after a passenger refused to comply with safety rules regarding in-flight transportation of pets.

'The passenger was removed by local law enforcement, and the flight continued to Chicago.'

The passenger later says that the plane was 'the worst she had ever been on'
