Flight Attendant Challenges Passenger To A Fight

Man challenged steward after mom was left crying!

It’s been a month to forget for the airline industry!

Following an incident where a passenger was dragged off of a United Airlines flight so an airline employee could take his seat, a second episode involving an airline crew member occurred just days later!

A shocking video emerged showing an American Airlines flight attendant challenging a passenger to a fight after allegedly hitting a woman with a stroller as she was boarding!

The footage was filmed right before Flight 591 took off from San Francisco and shows the airline staff member trying to goad the passenger into a physical altercation by getting up into his face and daring him to take a swing at him!

Surain Adyanthaya, the passenger who filmed the incident, explained he started recording after the flight attendant, “violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby.”

“They just involuntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and the AA official declined,” recalled Adyanthaya.

In the video, the distraught woman is seen standing at the front of the plane holding a child while sobbing as she asks staff members to get her stroller back.

Fellow passengers on the plane are heard expressing their disgust over the situation. One man then gets up from his seat and walks to the front of the plane to confront the flight attendants!

He reportedly asked for the name of the employee who is alleged to have hit the female passenger.

The situation got worse when a male American Airlines employee boards the plane and is met immediately by the other male passenger.

“You do that to me and I’ll knock you flat,” the man says.

The airline employee answered by pointing his finger at the man — ordering him to “stay out of it.”

The male passenger moves closer to the employee, who then challenges him to a fight!

 “Try it,” the employee replied to the customer. “Hit me. You don’t know what the story is.”

“You almost hurt a baby!” answered the male passenger.

Adyanthaya later posted another photo on his Facebook page of the woman with two young children in her arms as she is being escorted off of the plane.

American Airlines released a statement commenting on the incident that is currently under investigation.

 “What we see on this video does not reflect our values or how we care for our customers. We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident,” part of the statement read.

The airline upgraded the woman and her family to first class accommodations once they were placed on another flight to their destination.
