ATLANTA - April 8, 2009 - Joao Correa of Concord, Ohio, says he had a bathroom emergency
but his path was blocked by a beverage cart during the March 28
flight from Honduras to Atlanta. He asked if he could use the
lavatory in business class, but was told no.
Federal Aviation Administration policy requires passengers on
international flights to use the restroom in their seating class.
Authorities say the 43-year-old man is accused of pulling and
twisting the flight attendant's arm. He was arrested when the plane
landed in Atlanta and charged with assault.
Correa was released after two nights in jail, pending a hearing.
