A man bleeding after a hair transplant was arrested when he refused to leave a plane.
Eugenio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier and a female companion were hauled off the aircraft at Miami airport on Tuesday, according to local media.
Staff were concerned about the state of his head and potential body fluid contamination, but the 27-year-old reportedly said he didn’t have any fresh bandages to clean up the wound.
The pair refused to leave with an arrest report stating the woman, Yusleydis Blanca Loyola, told crew “if they could not fly, no one else can either”.
Police were called on board and warned the pair they would be arrested.
The woman started live streaming the incident on TikTok and they were eventually handcuffed and taken off the American Airlines flight to Las Vegas.
