Three women from Long Island, New York, are facing federal charges for allegedly kicking and punching Delta Airlines employees after they weren't allowed to board a flight, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New YorkOn September 22, Jordan Nixon, 21, Janessa Torres, 21, and Johara Zavala, 44, arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico, prosecutors said.
Several Delta employees allegedly determined that the trio shouldn't board the plane because of such behavior, and notified the women that they could rebook their flight later that same day. The security officer fell to the ground and all three women allegedly hit and kicked him. Torres is accused of stepping on the officer's head and face, which caused bleeding. And when the officer tried to leave for help, the women allegedly "pulled him back by his vest, tearing the vest apart," according to Breon's letter. The flight's crew eventually pulled the officer away, but the three women "continued to scream and strike" the employees.
