Video of drunk passenger Leanna Perry goes viral
A video footage of a drunk NYC flight passenger named Leanna Perry recently went viral as she engaged in a violent brawl with fellow passengers. Perry reportedly got into a fight with another passenger just minutes before takeoff, prompting authorities to step in and take her off the flight. The video shows Perry grabbing a woman by the hair and screaming profanities, calling the other passenger a “fat a** b**ch.”
Upon confrontation by other flyers, Perry bizarrely denied touching the woman’s hair, despite her grip being clearly visible. The video then shows another passenger shouting, “Let go of her hair,” while others tried to restrain her. In response, Perry is seen kicking at fellow passengers and crew members who were attempting to control her. As the other passengers managed to zip-tie her, she continued yelling, “Ugly a** b**ch,” and mocked another passenger’s boyfriend, saying:
Your boyfriend’s d**k is like 2 inches big. It’s embarrassing. I’m so sorry about your boyfriend.”
The video then shows her screaming that she couldn’t breathe before finally collapsing between the seats.
Leanna Perry charges and allegations
Following the chaotic incident, authorities have since charged Perry with aggravated assault and interfering with a flight. Due to the incident, Port Authority officers had to halt the plane and board it before detaining her and escorting her off in handcuffs. The officers then took her to a nearby hospital for evaluation before transferring her to the custody of the New York City Department of Corrections. Southwest Airlines has since confirmed that she was denied boarding and thanked their crew for their “professionalism.”
