Toronto-area couple kicked off Westjet flight, altercation captured on video
Description
June 5, 2017
Cell phone video seems to show an altercation erupt between a passenger and a flight attendant on a Westjet flight from London to Toronto. Maria Frota, 57, said she asked to keep her carry-on bag with blood pressure medication above her seat and was refused. That’s when video shows Frota’s phone was struck by the flight attendant while she was recording the incident and she said she and her husband were later kicked off the flight.
