Airline passenger really, really needed to use the bathroom

American Airlines passenger Michael Isabelle, 63, flipped out during a Brazil-to-New York flight when he found his access to the bathroom blocked by a beverage cart. Isabelle kicked the cart until it toppled over and then punched flight attendant Carlos Carrico twice in the stomach. Two attendants and a passenger wrestled Isabelle to the ground and put plastic cuffs on him. When the plane landed, he was arrested and taken for a psychiatric evaluation.
