Former NFL player Sergio Brown fought with officers on a plane while trying to get back to the US, footage has revealed.
Brown was trying to re-enter the US from Mexico, but was confronted by officers while the plane was still on the tarmac in Mexico City.
He was later arrested in California on 10 October.

The former NFL player is now set to be extradited to Illinois to face charges of first-degree murder after his mother was found dead near to her home on 16 September after family members reported that she was missing.
Her death was subsequently ruled to have been a homicide.
Video footage of the flight reveals Mexican officials struggling with Brown on the flight as they attempt to extradite him from Mexico.
Brown had posted a number of videos from the country to social media after going missing following his mother's death.

In the video obtained by CBS8, he can be heard yelling: "'They’re kidnapping me again, I'm from Chicago. I should not be going to Tijuana."
Brown seems to hold the officer's uniform close to his neck, and says 'let me go', before shouting 'this is kidnapping' in an attempt to appeal to the other passengers on the flight.
A doctor on the flight appears to try and calm him down by offering him a glass of water, but someone yells 'no glass', fearing what he might do.

Fellow passenger Michelle Williams filmed the scrap.
Officers had been trying to take Brown to Tijuana where he could be handed over to US authorities for extradition.
Brown is now facing charges of first degree murder relating to the death of his 73-year-old mother, Myrtle Brown.
His family has released a statement through their attorney.
The statement said: “We implore law enforcement agencies, particularly the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, to work diligently and thoroughly in pursuit of truth and accountability for Myrtle Jean Simmons-Brown.

"No family should bear the weight of uncertainty regarding the circumstances of their loved one’s passing."
His brother Nick Brown had previously posted to social media while Brown was still missing. He wrote: “It’s a sad but hopeful time, and we will all get through this together.
“Mom always told me, ‘tough times don’t last,’ and our last conversation about tough times being temporary is my beacon of hope.
“Mom, thank you for being strong, caring, diligent, fancy, funny, and for saving my art. I won’t let you down.”
