An unhinged Florida man horrifically pummeled a deaf and nonverbal passenger while he was sleeping until the cabin was spattered with blood on a cross-country United Airlines flight this week.
The brutal beatdown happened about two hours into United Airlines Flight 2247 from San Francisco to Washington Dulles on Monday.
It started when Everett Chad Nelson, 44, got up to use the bathroom, according to a criminal complaint.
While returning to his seat, Nelson stopped at seat 12F and “without notice, began physically attacking a sleeping male passenger by punching him repeatedly in the face and head until blood was drawn,” the complaint states.
“The next thing I know, I just hear these blood-curdling screams,” Sandhya Gupta, who was sitting a row behind the victim, told ABC 7 News.
“He was just very violently and very aggressively just pummeling the guy who was in the window seat who was in front of me and it was vicious. This wasn’t like a barroom, ‘I’m going to throw a couple of punches around,’ I mean this was vicious,” he said.
Nelson rained blows on the defenseless man for a full minute, officials alleged. Finally, a good Samaritan jumped in and ripped him off the victim.
Nelson split the man’s nose open, causing blood to splash all over his seat, the cabin wall, the window and the sleeves of Nelson’s green windbreaker, the complaint claims. The victim was also left with two black eyes.
After the two were separated, a doctor who happened to be onboard treated the man for his injuries — which is when passengers and the crew discovered the man could neither hear nor speak.
“When he was trying to communicate with us in sign language, that’s when we realized he was deaf and non-verbal,” he said.
