‘Stop, let him go’: PIO sparks mid-air brawl, ends up with black eye – video

An individual of Indian origin (PIO), Ishaan Sharma, was arrested after he began a battle with a fellow flyer aboard Miami-Philadelphia flight for “no reason”, WSVN reported citing officers.Keanu Evans, the person who was attacked, stated he felt compelled to set the document straight after video of his altercation with Sharma unfold throughout social media. Footage recorded by fellow passengers confirmed Evans and Sharma locked in a battle as bystanders begged them to cease. The 21-yr-outdated was left with a black eye ultimately.“Let him go,” WSVN quoted a passenger saying. “Stop, let him go.”“Sir, you have to sit down,” a flight attendant, attempting to interrupt the battle, stated.Recalling the incident, Evans informed 7News, “What I hate is that the video doesn’t capture what started the whole thing, you know? It only captures me defending myself.”“He was doing some, like, dark laugh like, ha ha ha ha ha. And he was saying things like, you, you puny mortal man, if you challenge me, it will result in your death. He kept threatening me with death. That’s what made me get up and press the button above me and I just turned around and I looked at him and I responded to him. A lot was going on, and immediately he just got up and he puts his forehead on my forehead like he was challenging me,” he stated.“You know, he’s looking at me very angrily and we’re looking eye to eye, forehead to forehead, and then he just grabs me by the throat and just starts choking me. At that moment it was, you know, fight or flight responses kick in. I’m in a tight, confined space on an aircraft, and all I can do is just defend myself,” he added.After the flight landed Monday evening, deputies arrested Ishaan Sharma, who had a facial reduce requiring stitches. Evans expressed remorse over the incident saying he didn’t need individuals to misconceive his character. Sharma now faces a battery cost and stays in custody.
