American Airlines passengers save woman from allegedly violent man on flight to North Carolina: Video

Several passengers on an American Airlines flight to North Carolina intervened Wednesday to help a woman in first class escape her allegedly violent male travel companion.

A shocking video shows several men and a flight attendant screaming at the alleged attacker to take his hands off the woman in the first class cabin of flight AA310 from Miami to Charlotte.

Three men leaned over the seat to confront the man while several flight attendants stood in the aisle, the clip shows Posted by Epoch Times reporter Arjun Singh shows.

“Don’t fucking touch her,” one man shouted in the man’s face before appearing to give an inaudible apology. “I don’t care. Look at me, you messed up. You can’t fucking touch her.”

A second man shouted that the woman sitting next to him was being arrested.

“Get your damn hands off her right now,” he yelled. “If you touch her again you’ll be fucking arrested.”

The first man asks the woman if she is okay before the passengers ask her to sit in an empty seat away from her companion.

As she crosses the aisle, the alleged attacker screams that he was attacked by the woman and claims she slapped him, the footage shows.

“No, you weren’t attacked,” she shouts back. “I put my hand over your mouth to make you shut up.”

The second man who intervened stands in the aisle between the two as other passengers return to their seats and the cabin becomes quiet.

The flight landed 26 minutes early and Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers waited at the airport and entered the cabin before passengers disembarked.

According to American Airlines and a second video shared by Singh, officers escorted the couple off the plane and then collected witness statements from fellow passengers.

“Two customers traveling together were involved in an altercation aboard American Airlines Flight 310 flying from Miami (MIA) to Charlotte (CLT) on October 2nd. “Local law enforcement responded and escorted the customers from CLT Airport,” a spokesperson said, the airline said.

“We do not tolerate violence and thank our team members for their professionalism in handling a difficult situation.”

It is unclear whether the man was arrested. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Post.
