A passenger on a flight from Miami to New York City has stated that the plane experienced a significant delay on Monday night. The delay was reportedly caused by an alleged assault on a gate agent. American Airlines has also confirmed the incident.
The flight from Miami International Airport to LaGuardia Airport was supposed to depart at 7:15 p.m. local time. However, it was delayed because of an alleged assault. Currently, the flight is rescheduled for 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday.
American Airlines has reported that they requested the presence of law enforcement at Miami International Airport following a disturbance on the jet bridge. The incident involved a customer physically assaulting a team member. The airline has expressed its firm stance against acts of violence towards its colleagues and has emphasized its dedication to collaborating with law enforcement in their investigation.
During a recent flight, a passenger shared a distressing incident involving another traveler. According to the witness, an airline staff member asked a man to go back to the gate. Shockingly, the man responded with violence, hitting the agent and causing her to bleed. The pilot even made an announcement about the incident, which was confirmed by the passenger.
The passenger shared that the pilot provided them with an account of an incident that took place on their flight. The pilot explained, “We were trying to remove a disturbed individual from the plane when he suddenly became extremely angry and physically attacked our gate agent. As a result, she is now unconscious and lying on the floor. This is an extremely grave situation.”
The pilot reported that there was a significant amount of blood on the walkway connecting the airport to the plane, indicating that an assault had taken place. According to the spokesperson of the Miami-Dade County Police Department, there have been no reports of an assault as of 8:30 p.m.
