The New York Times reports:
A Kansas man is facing federal charges after he grabbed a flight attendant on an American Airlines flight on Tuesday night, threw the person to the ground and tried to drag them up an aisle, federal prosecutors said. The man, Julius Jordan Priester, 24, of Wichita, Kan., was on a plane flying from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., to Chicago when he began acting erratically around 10 p.m. — some 30 minutes into the one-hour flight.
Mr. Priester began taking off his shirt and ran toward the back of the plane while yelling, “Help me.” He then grabbed a flight attendant, who was seated, by the shirt collar and forced the person to the ground, shouting, “You’re coming with me.” He then tried to drag the attendant up the aisle, ignoring flight crew members’ calls for him to stop, it said. Passengers helped get Mr. Priester back into a seat, where he continued to be disruptive and speak incoherently.
