An unhinged Florida man horrifically pummeled a deaf and nonverbal passenger while he was sleeping until the cabin was spattered with blood on a cross-country United Airlines flight this week.
The brutal beatdown happened about two hours into United Airlines Flight 2247 from San Francisco to Washington Dulles on Monday.
It started when Everett Chad Nelson, 44, got up to use the bathroom, according to a criminal complaint.
While returning to his seat, Nelson stopped at seat 12F and “without notice, began physically attacking a sleeping male passenger by punching him repeatedly in the face and head until blood was drawn,” the complaint states.
“The next thing I know, I just hear these blood-curdling screams,” Sandhya Gupta, who was sitting a row behind the victim, told ABC 7 News.
“He was just very violently and very aggressively just pummeling the guy who was in the window seat who was in front of me and it was vicious. This wasn’t like a barroom, ‘I’m going to throw a couple of punches around,’ I mean this was vicious,” he said.
Nelson rained blows on the defenseless man for a full minute, officials alleged. Finally, a good Samaritan jumped in and ripped him off the victim.
Nelson split the man’s nose open, causing blood to splash all over his seat, the cabin wall, the window and the sleeves of Nelson’s green windbreaker, the complaint claims. The victim was also left with two black eyes.
After the two were separated, a doctor who happened to be onboard treated the man for his injuries — which is when passengers and the crew discovered the man could neither hear nor speak.
“When he was trying to communicate with us in sign language, that’s when we realized he was deaf and non-verbal,” he said.

not so nice Florida man
p
WOW! WTF?
Inappropriate use of the term ‘Florida Man’... Typical left wing ‘journalist’... many missing brain cells.
How sad!
I’m willing to bet the attacker was a democrat.
What’s even stranger is that the victim was in a window seat - so the perp somehow got offended and punched over two other people/seats.
Sad. A group of passengers could have stopped this before the guy got pummeled for a minute.
The U.S. has become infested with a lot of sh*tbirds since we emptied our prisons and jails and decided to not use them anymore except for J6 Political Prisoners.
I hope his fellow inmates return the favor once general population hears what he did. With no Good Samaritan to be found.
There oughta be like a chute or something, where they can just eject that guy out of the aircraft, in flight.
Why did no one intervene to pull this monster off of this pax???
No photos of the bad guy anywhere...
Strikes me as rather lenient but who knows.
Dude looks like he’s missing a chromosome.
“Nelson was charged with one count of assault by beating, striking, and wounding in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States.
He faces up to a year in prison if convicted.”
The guy should have been thrown from the plane in flight.
The guy that hit Paul Pelosi got LIFE with NO PAROLE!!
Which one was the perp?
