A Southwest Airlines flight at LaGuardia Airport was disrupted Tuesday morning when a 32-year-old woman, Leanna Perry, had a drunken meltdown before takeoff.
Video footage shows Perry grabbing another passenger’s hair, kicking others, and shouting profanities. Port Authority police removed her from the plane, and she was later charged with aggravated assault.
Southwest Airlines confirmed she was denied boarding and praised the crew for their quick action. No one was seriously hurt, but the incident delayed the flight and rattled passengers.
