American Airlines passengers forced to intervene when man becomes violent towards a woman in first class

Passengers on an American Airlines flight intervened after a man traveling in first class reportedly became violent towards his female travel companion. Footage from the incident shared on social media showed several passengers and stewards gathered around the front row seats of the aircraft, which was traveling from Florida to North Carolina on Wednesday. The incident is the latest in bad behavior on planes, with videos of the interactions often going viral. In the video, three men leaned over the seat to confront the man, with one shouting “Do not f***** touch her.” The man seems to protest before another man responds “I don’t give a f***. “Look at me, you f***** up… Get your f****** hands off of her right now,” he yelled. “You touch her again, you’re gonna get f****** arrested.” It is not clear what prompted the altercation between the two travelers, but the woman is heard to claim that she put her hand over the man’s mouth to stop him from talking. The woman is asked by other passengers if she is alright before being told to move to an empty seat away from the man. The alleged aggressor loudly protests that he was assaulted by the woman and claims that she slapped him, according to the footage. “No, you weren’t assaulted,” the woman responds. “I put my hand over your mouth to make you shut up.”<br/>
