A woman created a disturbance on a flight by refusing to pay for excess baggage and allegedly biting a police officer. The incident unfolded at Jorge Newbery Airpark in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as she attempted to board a JetSmart flight with overweight hand luggage. Despite being stopped by airline staff, she managed to sneak past checks and board the plane, leading to police intervention.
Airport police were summoned to remove her from the aircraft, but she resisted and bit a female officer’s arm during the struggle. Passengers recorded the chaotic scene as officers grappled with the unruly woman before successfully removing her from the flight. Following the altercation, the woman received medical treatment for minor injuries and was subsequently detained by Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Federal Court No. 3 for further investigation.
The flight faced a brief delay but eventually took off as scheduled. JetSmart, the airline involved, has not issued a public statement regarding the incident. Formal charges have not been announced yet, and the case remains under judicial review. The court has gathered statements from the injured officer, a shift supervisor, and JetSmart crew members who witnessed the altercation.
