Swiss pilot attacked by passengers over buggy, court hears

A mother and daughter from London attacked a Swiss Air pilot in the cockpit after a row over a buggy, a court has heard. Henrietta Mitaiare, 23, and Mary Roberts, 53, were travelling from Zurich, Switzerland, to Heathrow on 2 May 2019 when the alleged attack took place. Uxbridge Magistrates' Court heard how before the flight, Ms Mitaiare argued with staff after she was asked to put her child's buggy into the hold of the plane​. The court heard how the fight broke out when the flight landed in Heathrow. The court heard how the pair both provided no-comment interviews when questioned by police. Roberts, of Fulham south west London, and Mitaiare, of west London, both deny the charges of assault by beating on Captain Guido Keel.<br/>
