A partially paralyzed man is suing Delta Airlines, claiming he was forced to crawl on and off his flights and across the tarmac because he wasn’t provided with the equipment he needed to board and exit the plane, according to a complaint.

D. Baraka Kanaan, 40, of Haiku, Hawaii, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Hawaii against Delta Airlines and 20 of the carrier’s employees and agents. The suit, filed on July 23, seeks damages after he endured “intense physical and extreme emotional suffering” from the ordeal.

In the suit, Kanaan said the airline subjected him to “appallingly outrageous treatment” both on his flight to Nantucket, Mass., on July 27, 2012 and on his flight back to Maui, Hawaii, two days later.
