As highlighted yesterday, a video has gone viral of a woman on a Delta flight from Tampa to Atlanta on December 23 who was arrested after assaulting an elderly man, screaming at him to put on a mask while he was eating. Now it turns out the guy called her out because she compared herself to Rosa Parks after being asked to move seats by attendants.
The woman, who wasn’t wearing a mask herself slapped the 80 year old man after he told her to sit down and be quiet. She also spat at him.
Watch:
More details on the unhinged woman, later identified as one Patricia Cornwall, have emerged, with reports indicating that several other passengers and crew were injured during the incident, with one having boiling water spilled on them.
Court records have also emerged, stating that Cornwall was asked by flight attendants serving drinks to sit in a seat that wasn’t her own while they got past her with the cart.
The report states that Cornwall sardonically asked “What am I, Rosa Parks?” which prompted the elderly man to tell her that she “isn’t black….this isn’t Alabama and this isn’t a bus.”
That was what caused Cornwall to go nuts.
The records also indicate that the attack is being treated as a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 113(a)(4), assault within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United Statesowing to the fact that it occurred on a plane in flight.
Other reports have indicated that Cornwall has acted in Baywatch, been a cheerleader in the NFL, and modelled for Playboy.
