Passenger’s Violent Outburst Forces American Airlines Flight to Turn Back

A man traveling to Miami attacked flight attendants and swallowed rosary beads, claiming to fight off 'satanic disciples.'

Delange Augustin, 31, exhibited erratic behavior shortly after takeoff, prompting the flight crew to intervene.
Augustin kicked a flight attendant in the chest, sending them across the aisle, and later attacked another crew member upon landing.
The passenger, traveling with his sister, claimed they were fleeing 'spiritual attacks' and swallowed rosary beads as part of a 'spiritual battle.'
The flight, carrying eight passengers and five crew members, returned safely to Savannah, Georgia, where Augustin was subdued by other passengers and arrested.
Augustin faces multiple charges, including interference with flight crew, battery, and criminal property damage, and was evaluated at a hospital before being detained.
