Vyvianna Quinonez, 28, allegedly grew irate when she was told to buckle her seatbelt during a flight from Sacramento to San Diego on Sunday and punched the flight attendant in the face, KTXL reported.
Quinonez was escorted off the flight by Port of San Diego Harbor police as the flight attendant, who was not named, was pictured with a bloodied face and wheeled off the flight in a wheelchair.
The flight attendant lost two teeth and suffered other injuries to her face and was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital, KFMB-TV reported. She was later released from the hospital and Southwest flew a friend to San Diego to be with her.
Cops charged Quinonez with felony battery causing serious bodily injury and she was released on a $35,000 bail, KFMB reporter Abbie Alford posted on Facebook.
Quinonez, from the Sacramento suburb of Antelope, claimed to Alford that she acted in self defense and wouldn't say anything more without her lawyer present.
Taro Arai, the owner of Sacramento restaurant Mikuni, said he saw the two shoving each other before Quinonez threw the punch.
'In the beginning, they were not arguing. They were just like 'do this, don't do that, don't do this, don't do that.' Then even the flight attendant said, 'Don't touch me,' Arai told KTXL.
He told Good Day Sacramento that the flight attendant was 'bleeding everywhere in the back.'
'This lady who hit her went back to her seat, wore a mask — nothing happened seems like. I'm like huh, woah, I mean, she was so strong she could knock me out,' he said.
