The footage showed airport police officers pulling the 69-year-old doctor from his seat and dragging him down the aisle. His lawyer claimed he lost teeth and suffered a broken nose and concussion in the incident.
视频显示，机场警务人员将这位69岁的医生从座位上拽下来，并将他拖到了过道上。律师称，本次事故导致陶大卫脑震荡、牙齿掉落以及鼻梁骨折。
Earlier, United announced steps it would take to reduce overbooking of flights. Among other things, the airline said it will raise the limit on payments to customers who give up seats on oversold flights to 10,000 dollars (?7,750) and it will improve training of employees.

When Mr. Dao and his wife were selected for bumping, he refused to leave.
