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.”
