Bolic Bet Malou, 30, told 9News he felt "humiliated" after being "pushed" and "carried" off a Jetstar flight bound for Melbourne.
"I felt like an animal, it doesn't feel great in front of your one year old son," he said.
"Five police, four different taser guns at once.
"It's voltage on a human that done nothing wrong."
The March 18 incident occurred after Mr Malou, from Melbourne, traded seats with another passenger to sit with his wife and one-year-old child.
When the cabin crew asked him to return to his original seat, he allegedly refused, and was then confronted by Australian Federal Police.
He is now fighting multiple charges including disorderly behaviour, assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer. He is banned from flying until his trial and he could be separated from his young family until July.
In a statement, AFP alleges Mr Malou "acted aggressively and refused to comply with the direction of airline staff".
"It will also be alleged that he became more aggressive and proceeded to physically assault an AFP officer attempting to arrest him," the statement says.
But this account is disputed by another passenger.
Witness Jaeris Vansson told 9News Mr Malou "at no stage was being physically or verbally aggressive towards anyone".
"It looks like he had come to an amicable agreement with another passenger and everyone had swapped just fine," he said.
In a statement to ACM, Jetstar said the safety of customers and crew was their number one priority.
"Our crew called the AFP for assistance when a customer became abusive towards our crew, repeatedly refusing to follow their instructions to move to his assigned seat," it said.
"For safety reasons under aviation regulations, passengers must remain in their allocated seat for take-off and landing and comply with cabin crew instructions at all times."

"The AFP removed two customers from the aircraft, and one was later arrested. After checking on the welfare of the remaining customers and crew on board, the flight departed Perth approximately one hour after its scheduled departure time.
"We thank passengers for their patience as our crew worked with the AFP to manage the situation," Jetstar said.
