SEATLE, United States – A flight attendant aboard Delta Airlines on Thursday night smashed a bottle of red wine on the head of a passenger, during a Beijing-bound flight from Seattle, United States, a prosecutor has said in a complaint filed before a U.S District Court in Washington.
The victim of the assault, a male passenger known as Joseph Daniel Hudek IV, 23, of Tampa, Florida was said to have taken to an exit door midair and also assaulted a flight attendant and fellow passenger during the flight.
Neither he nor his attorney, Robert Flennaugh II spoke at the hearing when he appeared before a U.S. District Court on Friday.
According to AFP, Hudek was charged with interfering with a flight crew. He is expected to remain in custody at least until a detention hearing on July 13.
Responding to the development, Delta said “Flight 129 returned to Seattle following a security incident with a passenger. The passenger was restrained on board and was removed from the flight by law enforcement without further incident when the aircraft arrived back in Seattle.” There were 207 passengers on board.
