A woman was taken into FBI custody following a physical confrontation on board a flight on Wednesday. According to a report from TheBlaze, The mid-flight kerfuffle allegedly escalated over an argument about face masks despite both passengers not wearing a mask or not wearing a face-covering properly.

A viral video — which has been viewed nearly 6 million times — shows a squabble between a woman and an elderly man on a Delta flight from Tampa Bay, Florida, to Atlanta, Georgia.  The video shows the woman wearing a mask on her chin and standing in the plane’s aisle mid-flight. She is getting in the face of the older man who is sitting down in his seat.

According to the Daily Mail, the video starts off with the two squaring off over the man not wearing a mask on the Delta flight. ‘Put your f—ing mask on,’ the woman, who is more clearly audible than the man, says pointedly. The woman herself has lowered her mask down to her chin.



The man then threatens to pour his drink over her head and mutters ‘God d—it,’ the footage shows. He then appears to begin standing up and the woman encourages him: ‘Stand your a– up!’ The man then replies: ‘Sit down, Karen!,’ using what’s become an invective for white women.

‘You’re a godd–n Karen, sit down!’ The woman spars back: ‘Sit down, p—y!’ He spats back: ‘P—y? No, you’re the p—y.’ The woman is then asked by a flight attendant if she wants the police to meet her on the ground and points out that she has her mask down. The passenger, undeterred, turns to the man again and orders:

‘Mask up!’ She then orders the flight attendant to tell him to put the face-covering on as the man finally argues that he’s eating and drinking, therefore technically allowed to have his mask down.

TMZ reported that eventually, they get her under control … and word is, Atlanta PD was on the ground waiting for her when they landed. Reports say she was taken to a nearby ADP station, and was then handed off to the FBI. Unclear what charges, if any, she’s been booked for at this point. BTW, the woman was unmasked during this whole ordeal — leaving it under her chin.
