JetBlue passenger arrested for allegedly kicking and choking a flight attendant as he tried to storm the front of the plane, federal authorities say.
An unruly JetBlue passenger was arrested for allegedly kicking and choking a flight attendant as he tried to storm the front of the plane, federal authorities said.
About an hour and 10 minutes before arriving in Puerto Rico, El Dhar"became angry" because he tried to make a phone call but it was unsuccessful, according to an FBI affidavit. He got out of his seat, rushed toward the flight deck and yelled in Spanish that he wanted to be shot, a flight attendant told the FBI.
"El Dhar observed the door open and then grabbed the JetBlue [flight attendant] by their collar and tie with one hand while using his other hand to grab the overhead compartment to gain leverage to kick," the affidavit states."As the JetBlue [flight attendant] was kicked in the chest, El Dhar yelled for the flight crew officer to shoot him."
A second flight attendant told the FBI that El Dhar was speaking in Spanish and Arabic during the chaotic altercation, according to the affidavit.
