Odell Beckham Jr. removed from plane from Miami to LA after flight crew fears medical situation

Odell Beckham Jr. found himself removed from a cross-country flight heading from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday morning.

ESPN’s Tom Pelissero obtained a police report stating that before the plane left for L.A., the “flight crew was concerned for (Beckham)” while “fearing that (he) was seriously ill” after “they tried to wake him to fasten his seat belt (and) he appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness”.

When medical help arrived, along with police, Beckham refused to exit the plane when asked, leading to passengers being asked to leave while Beckham was removed “without incident”, per the report. A video taken by one of the passengers shows Beckham with several Miami-Dade police offers after leaving the plane:
