Man Hits Flight Attendant After Being Told 'No More Chicken'

Passenger Had A Beef With The Beef

We're not quite sure where to begin with this one. A Maryland man was arrested Sunday at Kennedy Airport, after allegedly hitting a flight attendant after she told him there were no more chicken dinners available on his flight from Zurich -- and that he'd have to settle for the beef.

The New York Daily News reports Pierre Delis, 36, was flying home from visiting relatives in Switzerland when the fracas took place. American Airlines Flight 65 was about 90 minutes into its transatlantic voyage when meal service began... and Delis was told, despite his request for a chicken dinner, there was only beef to be had.

Air marshal Matthew Lloyd said Delis "became exceedingly irate and and began yelling and swearing" before he stood up, and punched the flight attendant.

Another flight attendant and two passengers restrained Delis, reminding him perhaps that resorting to violence is no way to get your meal. Police met the flight when it landed in New York... and a criminal complaint was filed against Delis in Brooklyn Federal Court.

The flight attendant was treated at an area hospital for bruising and swelling related to the, well, sucker-punch she received.

The Daily News adds at Delis' arraignment hearing, defense lawyer Florian Meidel asked the court to tell officers to feed his client -- as Delis hadn't had anything to eat since Sunday. Wisely, Meidel did not say if his client had a meal preference.

We're guessing there's really no choice in jail.
