AMERICAN AIRLINES EMPLOYEE SUSPENDED AFTER ALTERCATION

An American airlines employee has been suspended after a video footage of him challenging a passenger to a fight was made public. The incident occurred after the flight attendant allegedly hit a woman in the head with a metal stroller during boarding. In the footage which was uploaded by passenger Surain Adyanthaya, the American Airlines employee was seen as provoking a passenger and saying, 'hit me'.

Surain Adyanthaya, explained he started video coverage of the incident after the flight attendant violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby'.

In the words of Adyanthaya: 'They just involuntarily escorted the mother and her kids off the flight and let the flight attendant back on, who tried to fight other passengers. The mom asked for an apology and AA official declined."

A second testimony from another passenger on-board the aircraft said, Olivia Morgan had been looking for a space to put the collapsible stroller. She was standing in the door to the cabin with her eight-year-old daughter.

She was looking for space when the male attendant tried to take the stroller away from her. Olivia Morgan told him that the other attendant told her it was okay to look. The flight attendant then wrestled the stroller away from the woman, who was sobbing, holding one baby with the second baby in a car seat on the ground next to her.

Other witnesses confirmed that the attendant dragged the metal stroller from the woman and struck her with it.

Two weeks ago, aviation officers dragged Mr. David Dao, a 69-year-old doctor from a United Airlines plane. An incident that has seen some United Airlines employee relieved from their duty.

This new incident occurred on Flight 591 with American Airlines. The aircraft was travelling from San Francisco to Dallas.
