"It is alleged that Usiripalli used his right hand to strike Minor A in the left clavicle area with a metal fork. Usiripalli then allegedly lunged toward Minor B - who was seated to Minor A's right in a middle seat in the center row of the aircraft - and struck Minor B in the back of his head with the fork."
"When flight crew members attempted to subdue Usiripalli, he allegedly raised his hand, formed a gun with his fingers, put it in his mouth and pulled an imaginary trigger. Immediately afterwards, Usiripalli allegedly turned toward a female passenger to his left and slapped her with his hand. Usiripalli also allegedly attempted to slap a flight crew member. Usiripalli was arrested once the flight landed at Logan Airport, officials said."
"He is charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm while traveling on an aircraft, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. "Usiripalli was previously admitted to the United States on a student visa," authorities said. "Most recently, he was enrolled in a master's program in biblical studies. Usiripalli presently does not have lawful status in the United States.""
A Lufthansa flight from Chicago to Germany diverted to Boston after a passenger allegedly stabbed two 17-year-old male passengers with a metal fork following meal service. One teen suffered a strike to the left clavicle and the other suffered a laceration to the rear of his head. Flight crew members attempted to subdue the suspect, who then mimed firing a gun, slapped a nearby female passenger, and attempted to slap a crew member. The suspect was arrested at Logan Airport and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon; he lacks lawful U.S. status.
