A passenger on a Southwest Airliners flight assaulted a flight attendant during an argument in the United States. The aircraft was bound for the city of San Diego, California. According to Fox40, the situation began when the flight attendant confronted passenger Vyvianna Quinonez, 28, and others in her family, asking them to put on their face masks correctly. The young woman started to argue and ended up throwing punches at the employee, who lost two teeth.
Witnesses declared that the flight attendant started with provocations. “It was so unnecessary. In the first fight she said she was going to call the pilot. Vyviana had already said three times: ‘Stop touching me. Get your hands off me,” said Michelle Manner, who was in the front row.
“The flight attendant was very rude, very unprofessional in the way she handled things,” he added.
In a note, Souwest Airlines condemned the incident and said the passenger “ignored instructions for the flight and was physically and verbally abusive”.
Quinonez was arrested and released on $ 35,000 bail – equivalent to more than $ 180,000.
