CHARLOTTE, N.C. March 30 2012 A passenger aboard a US Airways flight from North Carolina to Florida has been arrested after witnesses say she attacked crew members before being wrestled to the jet’s floor.
Lee County Port Authority spokeswoman Victoria Moreland said Wednesday her agency’s police arrested a US Airways passenger but would not provide other details.
US Airways spokesman Bill McGlashen said he didn’t know how early in the flight the passenger became unruly. Reports say a passenger on US Airways flight 1697 from Charlotte to Fort Myers kicked, scratched and spit on crew members.
A reporter from an North Carolina TV station spoke to arriving crew members in the terminal. A US Airways representative confirmed to Channel 9 that the incident did take place and the disturbance did not delay the flight and there was no diversion.
The US Airways representative said 135 passengers and 6 crew (2 pilots, 4 flight attendants) members were on board.
The incident came hours after passengers restrained the agitated pilot of a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas.
