While the plane was en route to Los Angeles the two women began to physically assault a male passenger. Startled, another passenger tried to quickly intervene, however, the woman refused to stop and began yelling racial slurs.

ANGRY ABOUT BEING RECORDED

The man who tried to break up the fight pulled out his cell phone and began to record the women. When Pichardo noticed she was being recorded she allegedly spit on the man with the camera.

THE FBI STEPS IN

The FBI and Phoenix police opened a case against the woman and each of the women was indicted for disorderly conduct for verbally and physically assaulting other passengers and flight crew members.
