United flight 762 from Miami to Newark was diverted to Orlando on Tuesday after a woman on board bit a flight attendant and hurled profanities at fellow passengers.

The incident began when the woman started screaming at those around her. When flight attendants attempted to de-escalate the situation and restrain her with zip ties, she bit a male flight attendant’s shoulder, tearing a piece of his uniform. The woman also spat at another passenger and threatened them. She shouted “Go back to Russia, old lady” at another woman in the cabin.

She accused passengers and crew of having “attitude problems” and claimed, “You tryin’ to kill me.”

TMZ obtained footage showing the altercation. A tweet by Dom Lucre shared details of the event: "DEVELOPING: A United Airlines passenger was filmed biting a flight attendant and ripped off a piece of her uniform during an in-flight altercation; ‘S-ck my D—k B-tch, ….Kill You B-tch’".

Upon landing in Orlando, law enforcement boarded the aircraft as the cabin broke into applause. The flight experienced a delay of approximately three and a half hours and required a fresh crew before continuing to Newark.

United Airlines released a statement regarding the incident: "United Flight 762 from Miami to Newark stopped in Orlando on Tuesday evening after a passenger became aggressive and disruptive. Our flight attendants worked to de-escalate the situation and protect other customers, and after landing in Orlando, law enforcement met the flight, and the passenger was removed. We’re grateful to our team for their professionalism and for looking out for the safety of our customers and their fellow United employees."

Fortunately, everyone appears to be safe following this incident.
