Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo (pehn-TAN’-jeh-loh) says it happened at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The dispute started after a 61-year-old passenger at a window seat tried to climb over another woman as Jet Blue Flight 960 approached the gate.
The older woman used an eyebrow razor to slash the 52-year-old woman and a man who tried to intervene.
The younger woman then used pepper-spray on the knife-wielding passenger.
Seven passengers were treated for difficulty breathing.
Police say the 61-year-old was arrested on assault and weapons charges. The other woman was arrested for possessing pepper spray.
How did they get the knife, razor and pepper spray on the plane?
Security appears lax in Jamaica…
As the commercial says, “Its better in Jamaica”….sounds more like the episode reported here several years ago where someone showed up from out of town and sat himself down at the gabai rishon’s shtender at a well known beis medrash off of 13th Avenue.
Crack airport security at work. They got on with a blade and pepper spray.
Good thing they didn’t have more than 2 oz of water, they would have gotten the firing squad .
