I jumped up, got far away from her, so she had plenty of room. She had to put stuff in the upstairs thing. I understand that. Took plenty of time. Sit back down. We never spoke other than that. And after about 25 minutes of her on Instagram full blast, every time she would flip, cuz apparently it was from a loud place, I jumped because it was so loud and she was So I waited 25 minutes, give her time, let her do whatever she needed to do, and then I said, "Am I going to have to listen to that the whole time?" >> And she said, "Do you like it?" And I said, "No." And she said, "Well, I don't like the way you ask me." I said, "Don't put this on me." And the next thing I know, there was a fingernail so close to my eye that I thought I was going to be physically attacked. She had her I don't want to do it to you, sir. She had her hands in my face, screaming, calling me crazy, on and on and on. So now the flight attendants can't come help me because they're strapped in for this takeoff. My phone is sitting against my leg on the l on my lap. So I take it to video to try and protect myself. >> And as soon as I go like this, she takes her hand and goes like that and throws my phone. And everybody sees the phone go down the end of the whole airplane. And the flight attendant told me he saw her knock it out of my hand. >> And that's assault. And I'm 70 years old. >> So, she actually knocked the phone off your hand. >> You're right. She did. >> Okay. >> I didn't drop it. >> All right. All right. Uh, can you >> Here's what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid she's going to have me killed. >> So, can you do me a favor? Can you write me a statement of what happened? >> I certainly can. I have it written down in my phone. >> Can you just jot it down on this piece of paper? You want to sit somewhere private over here?
