Assault on flight attendant 'one of the worst' in airline's history, American Airlines CEO says

An American Airlines scheduled from New York to Santa Ana, California was diverted to Denver after a passenger assaulted a flight attendant. Upon landing in Denver the passenger was removed and apprehended for what was reported as an unprovoked attack. American Airlines is banning the passenger from ever flying with American Airlines again and they feel that is not enough as they are hoping for the individual to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.
