[NYP] A Kansas man was charged with assaulting an American Airlines flight attendant after ripping off his shirt, throwing the employee to the ground and dragging them up the aisle, prosecutors said.
Julius Jordan Priester, 24, of Wichita, was aboard a May 27 flight from Bradley International Airport, in Connecticut, when chaos erupted at about 10 p.m.
"Thirty minutes to an hour into the flight, Priester stood up, began to take off his shirt, then ran to the back of the plane yelling ’Help me,’" said United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut David Sullivan.
No photograph of Mr. Priester was available. |
