A Massachusetts man tried to open an airliner’s emergency door on a flight from Los Angeles to Boston, federal prosecutors alleged Monday.
A flight attendant noticed that the door’s locking handle had been moved out of the fully locked position about a quarter of the way toward the unlocked position and that the emergency slide arming lever had been moved to the disarmed position, authorities said. The crew secured the door and slide..Another flight attendant had noticed that Torres was seen near the door and believed he had tampered with it.
At that point, prosecutors allege, Torres got out of his seat, approached two flight attendants standing in the aisle, and used the spoon to make stabbing motions, hitting a flight attendant three times in the neck area.Article contentUnited Airlines said no one was injured. “Thanks to the quick action of our crew and customers, one customer was restrained after becoming a security concern on United flight 2609 from Los Angeles to Boston,” the company statement said. “The flight landed safely and was met by law enforcement.”.The airline said it has a zero tolerance policy for violence and Torres will be banned from flying on United pending an investigation.
One passenger told investigators that Torres had asked where on the safety card it showed where the door handle was located during the flight attendants’ pre-takeoff safety briefing, prosecutors said.Share this Story:
