Brooklyn Man Pulled Off Flight at JFK, Accused of Causing Disturbance
Delta said the flight departed about 45 minutes late after law enforcement removed the unruly passenger.
- On Thursday, Port Authority police arrested 60-year-old Jerome Anixter at John F. Kennedy Airport after he disrupted Delta Flight 2342 to Atlanta with a racist, expletive-filled rant while apparently intoxicated.
- Before his removal, Anixter appeared intoxicated and launched into a racist rant while the plane sat at the gate, with footage showing him pretending to shoot toward passengers using finger guns.
- Authorities charged the Brooklyn resident with assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration. Delta Air Lines stated, "Delta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior," and apologized for the 45-minute flight delay.
- The arrest follows actress Selma Blair's October 11 detention at the same airport for allegedly attacking Delta flight crew members; Blair was charged with two counts of assault.
- It remains unclear whether Anixter is detained or if the Queens District Attorney's office will proceed with charges, as The Daily Mail sought comment from both the suspect and prosecutors.
