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.

I wonder what he thought was gonna happen 🤔

Airline passengers like this need hard time breaking rocks! No exceptions.

Charge him as a domestic terrorist who endangered lives of all other passengers.

Prison

People have lost their God damn minds.

😖👎 this has got to stop!!!

ban for life! Zero 2nd chances.

Now put him on a lifetime no fly list.

Meet our new line of A320s 'Black and Blue'

Texas allows vigilante mob action where anyone can sue anyone for getting or giving an abortion. That is a horrible rule. But passengers should be allowed to file a class action lawsuit against any disruptive passengers for putting their lives in danger

Any traveler banned for one airline should be banned on ALL airlines.

10 years in prison should be proper

If he was Muslim, the right would be up in arms.

This person must be placed on the NO FLY LIST RIGHT NOW.

That passenger should NEVER B allowed 2 fly on ANY airline EVER AGAIN!!!

Make it a felony charge and a mandatory 10 years in prison.

DAVILACOLON I understand the flight was from Boston to Puerto Rico. Right?

Is this a new guy or the same person from 2 weeks ago?

Hope he’s prosecuted as a possible terrorist.

I think covid has people going crazy...

docrocktex26 NOW can we get a standard no-fly list?

docrocktex26 They should start to literally kick them off!Mid flight.

Should be on a lifetime ban list

The world is losing its mind. Remove the mask. It’s time. Unmask Mentalhealth

So that's wrong, who knew

WTAF

The people asaulting flight attendants are skyber ninjas

This is out of hand

There's two ways to deal with rabid mammals. One is rabies shots and the other involves a shotgun.

Ban that trumpet for life!

Permanent no fly list after federal prison and fine

Why did a flight crew officer open the cockpit door? That’s a big no-no.

Sounds like terrorism to me😡😡

Flight attendants need to be issued tasers.

Lock him up.

Probably end up in a County Jail.

FBI investigating after soldier said Afghan refugees assaulted herThe FBI confirmed Friday it is investigating an allegation from a U.S. soldier who reported being assaulted by a group of Afghan male evacuees at Fort Bliss' Doña Ana Complex in New Mexico. When are U.S. officials going to learn/acknowledge that, when you bring primitives to the U.S., they don't leave their primitive cultures behind. They bring them with them. Europe learned this; now we're going to have to live with the results forever. Anyone who assaults our soldiers or their spouse or minors needs prison, then sent back to Afghanistan.
