Video shows “Karen” hitting passengers in the Delta plane
A mad woman was arrested by the FBI after she went on an explosive tirade and hit a fellow passenger on board a Delta plane from Tampa to Atlanta.
The unattached woman – identified as Patricia Cornwall – was arrested by the public after the wild incident on board Flight 2790 on Thursday, Atlanta police said in a statement.
She was accused of causing a “disturbance” in the air that led to “damage to fellow passengers and Delta employees,” police said.
A video tweeted by ATL Uncensored shows the woman standing in the aisle, cursing at a male passenger as they exchange heated words.
“Put on the f-mask!”[ads1]; she shouts, while her own mask sits under her chin.
“Sit down, Karen!” he shoots back at the woman.
“Mask up!” she shouts.
“You mask yourself, b—!” he shouts back.
She is then seen beating the man, who shouts: “You are going to jail!”
Crew members are seen trying to hold back the woman, who is led down the aisle while shouting: “Your f— piece s—!”
Someone in the clip said that the woman “went crazy on the plane, hit this man in the face, spat on him, scratched him (and) poured hot water on my leg.”
According to TMZ, Cornwall went ballistic because the man did not want to disguise himself while eating and drinking.
When the plane landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 18.10, the police met employees of the airline at Gate A11, where the passengers described the incident.
“Based on the statements collected and visible evidence, officers arrested Cornwall and contacted the FBI agent,” police said in a statement.
“Then the officers moved with Cornwall to the Atlanta Internal Police, where FBI agents responded and took Cornwall into custody,” he added.
It was not immediately clear what charges she was facing.
Norway Post has contacted Delta for comment.
