A B757 FLT ATTENDANT IN CHARGE RPTED THAT A PAX WAS SO BELLIGERENT DURING TAXI OUT AT BOS; THAT THE DECISION WAS MADE TO RETURN TO THE GATE.

Narrative

WHILE WAITING ON THE TXWY TO TAKE OFF; THE RWY WAS CLOSED DOWN SO IT COULD BE REPLOWED (A BLIZZARD HAD JUST MOVED THROUGH THE AREA SOME DAYS BEFORE). AFTER THE CAPT MADE HIS PA; I RECEIVED A CALL FROM FLT ATTENDANT #2 THAT THE PAX IN X1 WAS BECOMING BELLIGERENT. THE PAX AROUND THIS MAN WERE BECOMING CONCERNED FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. APPARENTLY; HE WAS SWEARING; POUNDING HIS FISTS; YELLING OUT PROFANITIES AGAINST AMERICANS (HE WAS SPEAKING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE SOMETIMES); AND AT ONE POINT HE SAID TO THE WOMAN IN X2; 'IF YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY; YOU JUST WAIT.' WHEN I WAS INFORMED OF THIS; I CALLED THE CAPT AND THE DECISION WAS MADE TO RETURN TO THE GATE AND HAVE THE PAX REMOVED. NO PA'S WERE MADE ON THE RETURN SO AS NOT TO ALERT HIM AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED; 2 MASSACHUSETTS STATE TROOPERS CAME ON BOARD AND TOOK HIM OFF WITH NO PROBS. AT THIS POINT; HIS BROTHER (WE DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE TOGETHER) IN FIRST CLASS STEPPED UP AND ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE DID NOT SEEM TOO SURPRISED AND EVEN SAID; 'I'LL JUST HAVE HIM PUT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS.' WE CHKED IF THEY HAD ANY LUGGAGE ON BOARD (THEY DID NOT). WE LEFT THE 2 PAX BEHIND WITH THE AUTHS.
