Ms. Wells “became increasingly agitated and ‘wanted out’ of the plane. She left her seat and began moving and/or running toward the rear of the aircraft, before going to her knees in the aisle. She remained there shortly, talking incoherently to passengers, before crawling back toward the main cabin,” the suit says, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
Ms. Wells is accused of telling a flight attendant who tried to intervene that she would “hurt him,” pushed him aside, went to the front of the plane and attempted to open the front cabin door. She was restrained by passengers and crew, but struck a flight attendant in the head before she was duct taped to a seat, according to KENS-TV. She continued to kick, spit, scream and curse until the flight landed.
She ultimately had to be sedated and was removed when the plane landed, according to KENS-TV.
