A passenger from a flight from Rio de Janeiro to JFK Airport was taken to the hospital for a psych exam after allegedly attacking a flight attendant. The NY Post's sources say that Michael Isabelle "went berserk aboard a JFK-bound flight yesterday after he found his path to the bathroom blocked by a beverage cart -- kicking it over and punching a flight attendant in the stomach."
The 63-year-old was on American Airlines flight 256 when he allegedly confronted the cart and then kicked it so it toppled over. Then flight attendant Carlos Carrico reportedly "grabbed his arm," and was allegedly hit twice. "Carrico, another flight attendant and a passenger wrestled him to the ground and placed plastic cuffs on him." Carrico declined to file a criminal report.
