A passenger on a Delta Airlines flight has been banned for life after assaulting an employee at the Sacramento International Airport in California. The incident occurred on Sunday, when the passenger became irate after missing their flight and began arguing with the Delta employee.
According to witnesses, the passenger became increasingly agitated and began physically assaulting the employee, who suffered injuries to their face and neck. Airport police were called to the scene and the passenger was arrested on charges of assault and battery.
In a statement, Delta Airlines condemned the passenger’s behavior and said that they will not tolerate violence against their employees. The airline also announced that the passenger has been banned from all future Delta flights and will be required to pay restitution for the harm caused to the employee.
