Passenger arrested on Delta flight after cutting himself and a flight attendant, authorities say

Authorities say they arrested a passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight cut himself with a sharp object before attacking a flight attendant. The violent outburst happened Wednesday afternoon after a Delta flight from Atlanta landed in New Orleans. Capt. Jason Rivarde of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said a man on the plane cut himself in the neck and then injured a flight attendant with a superficial cut before he was subdued by other passengers. Rivarde says the passenger was arrested and faces charges of aggravated battery, simple battery and disturbing the peace. Delta said in a statement that it has “zero tolerance for unruly behavior on our aircraft.”
