An American Airlines flight from New York to Orange County, California, was forced to divert to Denver Wednesday after the airline says a passenger “physically assaulted” a female flight attendant. American Airlines offered support to the injured flight attendant and banned the passenger from ever flying with the airline again. “We will not be satisfied until he has been prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” the airline said in a statement. It wasn’t clear what prompted the incident, but witnesses reported seeing blood on the flight attendant’s face mask afterward. The passenger was arrested after the plane landed in Denver.
