The FBI arrested a Texas man for allegedly beating one passenger, attempting to strike another, injuring a second passenger and vulgarly berating a flight attendant aboard an American Airlines flight from Wichita to Washington Reagan National Airport earlier this month, CBS News has learned. It occurred five weeks to the day after the crash of an American Airlines flight on the same route.
Asterius Rulamka was sitting in the 14th row of the aircraft when he allegedly got up just before the flight was landing on the night of March 5, approached a flight attendant and threatened "to f--- him up upon landing," according to an FBI affidavit reviewed by CBS News. Rulamka is also accused of referencing President Trump during an FBI interview after the flight landed.
"Several passengers, observing the threatening behavior, started filming on their cellular phones," the affidavit said.
