A “crazed” homophobe who kicked a man he thought was gay was tackled by passengers at a Texas airport.

Video of the incident shows the unidentified attacker shouting slurs at a man wearing a pink T-shirt before being confronted by another traveler at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

The concerned onlooker asked the aggressive man what he was angry about.

“Queers is what I am upset about! This f****t right here!” he shouted.

The apparently drunk man then kicked the man in the pink shirt before a number of bystanders leapt in to tackle him. They held him down until officials arrived.

Neil Kennedy, whose brother Andrew filmed the incident, said the attacker “looked crazy”.

“We saw a very troubled man,” he told WTSP. “We hope that he was under the influence of some kind of substance, because if he wasn’t and that’s his true personality, then he’s going to have a long road in front of him.”

The man was arrested.
