Woman charged in attack on flight attendant during late-night flight from Miami to JFK as reports of unruly passengers increase

A passenger who allegedly refused to wear a mask and assaulted a flight attendant on an American Airlines flight Saturday night is one of what the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday is more than 1,300 reports of unruly passengers since February.

What started as a verbal argument over trash ended in a physical altercation, court documents state, as Chenasia Campbell got up from her seat on the Miami to New York flight to confront a flight attendant. Authorities said another flight attendant pushed Campbell while trying to separate the two, and Campbell punched the flight attendant and pulled her hair.  Campbell left the galley and argued with another passenger, according to the four-page complaint, then went up to the flight attendant and attacked her, yelling obscenities and trying to rip off the flight attendant's uniform. "Cops aren't going to do anything to me," she reportedly yelled.
