Woman slaps and spits at 80-year-old unmasked passenger on Delta flight
A woman has been arrested after a video appeared to show her physically assaulting an elderly man on a Delta flight.
Patricia Cornwall can be seen standing over the 80-year-old, before slapping and spitting at him during a dispute over masks.
"I’m eating," the man tells her, as the argument becomes more heated.
A flight attendant then grabs Cornwall's arm, before she pulls back with her fist clenched.
The incident happened on a Delta flight from Tampa, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia on 23 December and police say the woman was arrested by FBI agents on arrival.
