On Wednesday, several passengers on an American Airlines flight to North Carolina intervened and helped a woman sitting in first class escape from her allegedly violent male companion.
Shocking video shows several men and a female flight attendant yelling at the alleged attacker to keep his hands off the woman inside the first class cabin of Flight AA310 from Miami to Charlotte. .
The footage shows three men leaning over the seats to confront him, while several flight attendants stand in the aisle. Posted by Epoch Times reporter Arjun Singh is shown.
“Don't touch her,” one man yelled in the man's face, before the man appeared to make some inaudible excuse. “I don't do anything nasty. Look at me, you're crazy. You don't touch her.”
The other man yelled as his female seatmate was being arrested.
“Get your hands off her now,” he yelled. “If you touch her again, you'll be arrested.”
The first man asked the woman if she was OK, and the passengers instructed her to move to another available seat, away from her companion.
As the woman crossed the aisle, the assailant yelled that she had assaulted him and claimed he had slapped her, according to the footage.
“No, you were not assaulted,” she shouted back. “I put my hand over my mouth to keep him quiet.”
As the other passengers returned to their seats and the plane fell silent, the second man stood in the aisle between them.
Although the plane landed 26 minutes early, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police were on hand at the airport and entered the plane before the passengers were scheduled to leave.
A second video shared by American Airlines and Singh said officers removed the two men from the plane and gathered witness statements from fellow passengers.
