A stewardess from Alaska Airlines was seen to limit a crazy passenger who took a woman's hair on board.
The bizarre incident took place on 1 February at Alaska Airlines Flight 2221 on the California's Oakland International Airport just before he left for Portland, Oregon.
The irregular male passenger, with short gray hair and glasses, was stopped by an unnamed male stewardess shortly after he held in front of him on the hair of a female passenger.
While the stewardess struck the man several times and tried to let him go the woman's locks, other passengers tried to get in and help him.
The nameless woman with long black hair finally got up and walked away while the stewardess held his hand on the man's shoulder while he screamed loudly.
It is unclear exactly what led to the abnormal behavior of the male passenger, but according to the man who said he was fleeing, “he was held for a few minutes before he was arrested.”
After the incident, the plane returned to the gate and the flight itself was canceled 'after a supervisor refused to fly and could not be replaced, “said the passenger.
