A New Jersey man was arrested for attacking another passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight just before the plane landed in Florida earlier this week, authorities said.
Flight 1203 was en route Monday from Philadelphia to Miami when a fight erupted on the plane.
‘At that moment, it was, you know, the fight or flight responses kicked in.’
The victim — identified as Keanu Evans — told WSVN-TV that a passenger seated near him began uttering strange, unsettling phrases during the flight.
“He was doing some, like, dark laugh like, ‘Ha ha ha ha ha.’ And he was saying things like, ‘You, you puny mortal man, if you challenge me, it will result in your death,'” Evans told the station.
Evans reportedly said he left his seat to use the restroom — and to notify the flight crew of the bizarre behavior of the passenger, later identified as 21-year-old Ishaan Sharma of Newark, New Jersey. A flight attendant advised Evans to push the call button if the passenger continued to exhibit concerning conduct.
Evans returned to his assigned seat, but the situation reportedly escalated.
