A Delta Air Lines passenger threatened to hurt a flight attendant on board a recent flight to New Orleans, according to a report by the local television station FOX8.
The passenger, who's been identified as Nelson Montgomery, threatened a flight attendant with a shard of broken glass and put her into a chokehold on a flight from Atlanta to New Orleans, per FOX8. Montgomery, 39, said he would "cut off her head" if any passengers attempted to get close to them.
A passenger on board the flight, who declined to be named, told FOX8 that eight passengers worked together to subdue Montgomery, who was said to be bleeding from his neck. According to the local television station WDSU6, Montgomery cut his neck before he grabbed the flight attendant. Montgomery had also cut her, leaving her with superficial injuries, per the report.
Deputies from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrested Montgomery once the plane landed in New Orleans, per FOX8. Deputies told FOX8 that Montgomery will be charged with aggravated battery, disturbing the peace, and simple battery once he's received medical treatment for his neck wound.
A Delta spokesperson told FOX8 in a statement: "Delta flight 2432 operating from Atlanta to New Orleans was met by law enforcement personnel upon landing following a reported customer issue onboard. Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior on our aircraft and in our airports. Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our people and our customers."
Delta and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside normal office hours.

I was one of three adults who led a backpacking trip to the Colorado Rockies this past June with six teenage Boy Scouts from Troop 876 of Savannah, Ga. After seven nights camping, our tenth night — June 26 — was to be aboard a redeye to Kennedy Airport, followed by a morning flight to Savannah, both on JetBlue Airways. But our Denver departure was delayed over two hours and we missed the connection. We waited for three hours in line, only to politely be told the next flight available was five days later, even after we offered to fly to Atlanta, Charleston, S.C., or Jacksonville, Fla., instead. JetBlue would not provide a hotel. So we opted for a refund (plus $12 meal vouchers), rented two cars and drove 14 hours home, racking up about $1,200 in travel expenses. But when our refunds from JetBlue came through, they totaled $261 for nine of us, only 18 percent of the original cost. A customer service representative later explained to me by phone that we had been reimbursed for only the New York to Savannah leg. We believe JetBlue should have gotten us on an earlier flight on a different airline or at least reimbursed us for the nine fares and fees totaling $1,458, and perhaps chipped in for the expenses to get home. Can you help?
