BOSTON (AP) — A man from India stabbed two teenagers with a fork, slapped a female passenger and a crew member and mimicked shooting himself during an international flight, authorities said.
The flight from Chicago to Germany on Saturday was diverted to Boston, where the 28-year-old man was arrested and charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, a 17-year-old passenger awoke to find the man standing over him. The man stabbed the teen’s clavicle with a fork and then stabbed another 17-year-old boy in the head, causing a laceration.
The man, who entered the U.S. on a student visa, doesn’t have lawful immigration status, authorities said.
