Minnesota Man Dragged Off Flight To LAX After Alleged Drunken Brawl
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A Minnesota man is accused of attacking a flight attendant Wednesday night on a Delta Airlines flight to Los Angeles.
Allen Chaves was dragged off Delta Flight 2321 from Minnesota after getting into a drunken altercation with a flight attendant, according to the FBI.
Chaves is being held on a misdemeanor count of assault, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
CBS2/KCAL9 Viewer Ed Barrera witnessed Chaves' behavior on the flight and said he appeared to be drunk.
"There was a little bit of a scuffle," said Barrera. "When the flight attendant walked back up, he was bleeding from the nose."
Barrera said fellow passengers restrained Chaves after the altercation until the end of the flight. Chaves was reportedly calling out "I'm being held; I'm being kidnapped."
Passengers applauded once Chaves was removed from the plane. There is a possibility he will face more serious charges.
