Two passengers were arrested at Miami International Airport after refusing to deplane an American Airlines flight bound for Las Vegas on Tuesday. Eugenio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier, 27, had a bleeding head wound and blood-soaked bandages.
Flight attendants were concerned for the man’s medical condition and the possibility that the flight might be forced to divert as a result. They asked him to clean up the wound and replace the bandages. However, he stated that the one he was wearing was the only one he had.
He and his wife, Yusleydis Blanca Loyola, were subsequently asked to leave the aircraft. They refused, declaring, “if they could not fly, no one else can either.”
