Man Arrested For Hitting Flight Attendant In The Head On American Airlines Flight [Video]
A man who hit a flight attendant on a flight going from Mexico to Los Angeles was arrested after the plane touched down, and American Airlines said he has been banned from their airline for life as well.
According to an online video recorded by Barrie Livingstone, the passenger was arguing, and the person who shared it said the flight attendant didn’t let him use the first class bathroom. The attendant is heard saying “are you threatening me?”
As the attendant starts walking away, a man in a Hawaiian shirt advances and punches him in the back of the head.
Livingstone told KTLA the altercation was “totally unprovoked,” and that he was restrained by passengers with zip ties for the rest of the flight.
Along with being banned from the airline according to a statement by American, he was charged with the federal offense of interfering with a flight crew.
