Drunk passenger beaten then tied up with seat belts? Where is crew???

Wow. I'm just wondering where the crew is during this saga??? As drunk or confrontational as the passenger may have been, I'm pretty sure beating him and tying him up might have crossed the line. Shouldn't the crew step in? Divert and offload the passenger? I like how the airline was happy they arrived on time regardless.

With a 18 sec video, we can't say whether the crew acted or not. We also don't know how long into the flight the incident happened, and if it would make sense to divert.

OP: Ever been to Russia?
Things are handled slightly different than they are in the US!
