Bleeding man arrested for refusing to leave plane after hair transplant
A man who was bleeding from his scalp after undergoing a hair transplant was arrested after he refused to leave the plane.
Euginio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier and a female companion Yusleydis Blanca Loyola were told to get off the aircraft at Miami airport on Tuesday, local media reports.
Staff said they were concerned about the state of his head and potential body fluid contamination.
But the 27-year-old said he didn’t have any fresh bandages to clean up the wound.
The pair refused to leave, with Yusleydis telling crew, ‘if we cannot fly, no one else can either’.
She even began live streaming the incident on TikTok before they were handcuffed and taken off the American Airlines flight.
Other passengers had to disembark due to the commotion, local10news reports.
The pair are now facing charges of trespass and resisting arrest.
