B[/B] – In-flight movies may feature martial arts, but some airline passengers apparently got to see the real thing on a recent flight that ended with a man being subdued by air marshals.
The incident happened on a Delta Air Lines plane en route from Paris to Atlanta last Thursday, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of Georgia.
A woman said she was asleep when the passenger seated behind her, identified as Brian Louis Pomykala, woke her up by “forcibly fondling and grabbing her face and head and then gesturing toward his crotch area indicating that he needed some sex,” according to the complaint.
The woman’s companion sought help from flight attendants who alerted two air marshals on board the flight, the complaint says.
When they approached Pomykala and asked him to go to the rear of the plane to explain what happened, he said he was not going anywhere, court papers allege.
Pomykala then struck one of the air marshals in the throat “with a bladed, karate-style thrust strike” and followed with a choke hold move, according to the complaint.
The air marshal was able to put Pomykala in a head lock and handcuff him with the help of the other air marshal, court papers say. Pomykala spent the rest of the flight in the rear galley jump seat. Law enforcement officials met the plane when it landed in Atlanta.
Pomykala is accused of assault and interfering with a federal air marshal. His attorney declined to comment on the case.
I don’t have a whole lot to add to this except that it really isn’t a good idea to go around trying to strike and choke any law enforcement officers.
perhaps he was ninjer. He’d throat spear the one, choke the other out, and then repel down to the ground on strands of LARP. What a stupid way to catch a case.
I’m still boggling at the very idea that the bloke might have thought his original molestation of the sleeping woman was in some way, Acceptable??? Certainly there’s a question over his seduction technique, grabbing his crotch and indicating the, er, Congress, between them might be taken at the end of plane. Was he also looking for an audience to cheer him on?
I take that this geezer is something of an oil-painting? No??
