Two people have been arrested and two others hospitalized in New York after a passenger spat between two women on a plane escalated into a bruising battle involving a razor blade and pepper spray.
It all started Wednesday, when JetBlue Flight 690 arrived at JFK International Airport from Kingston, Jamaica. According to the New York Post, 61-year-old Jean Ballentine grew restless waiting to disembark from the plane and decided to simply clamber over fellow passenger Mary Cannady, 52, who was sitting in an aisle seat.
That was a mistake.
Cannady shoved Ballentine away, and Ballentine apparently retaliated by punching Cannady in the face, then breaking out an eyebrow razor she used to slash both Cannady and a male passenger who attempted to intervene.
Cannady in turn decided to break out a can of pepper spray, filling the airplane compartment with unpleasant fumes. The use of weaponry was notable, given that neither the razor nor the pepper spray should have been allowed into the passenger cabin in the first place.
Ballentine and Cannady were both arrested. Ballentine has been charged with second-degree assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, while Cannady has been charged with unlawful possession of tear gas. Both combatants were largely unharmed, the post says, but two others were hospitalized thanks to cuts from Ballentines razor and breathing difficulties from Cannadys spray. According to the New York Daily News, seven total people required treatment for breathing difficulties.
“What is an eyebrow razor?”
This story!
It razed my eyebrows!
The other passengers were Blue after they got off the Jet.
Just more silliness to get us to all submit to the TSA agents and the DHS
It ain’t so easy keepin’ up muh good looks these days!
Yupper, and those manipedis are hell on the budget!
Tell me about it, girl!
That was my first thought as well. I guess this saying applies: "Old" is anyone who is 20 years older than you.
So if the headline writer here is 30...

LOL!!
Well I would be a little grossed out as well, if somebody hocked a loogie near me. But I don't think I would pull out my eyebrow razor.
;)
The other gal would be using the eyebrow razor to get it out LOL

Two BLACK WOMEN have been arrested and two others hospitalized in New York after a passenger spat between THE two women on a plane escalated into a bruising battle involving a razor blade and pepper spray.
There, fixed it! Yo’ gots ta look out fo doz straight razors.
Rooney for sure, plus all the rest of these guys might want to consider investing in one of those eyebrow razors...
I was thinking the same thing. I read an article the other day and they called a woman who was 59 elderly.
TSA - ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As well as that Spanish artist: Frida
I’m thinking that if they’re past 100, or maybe at least in their 90’s, then we can accurately call them “mature” and “seasoned”, but 50’s & 60’s are still in their prime...
You can fly into JFK with razor blades and pepper spray? What happened to cavity searches for having a 5 oz shampoo?
I unknowingly flew to Vegas a few months ago with pepper spray in my purse.
