REVEALED: Female AA flight attendant punched and left with broken bones 'was attacked by male first class passenger for bumping into his seat' as CEO brands violent incident one of worst in airline's history
American Airlines' CEO called Wednesday's attack on a female flight attendant 'one of the worst' in the airline's history after a male passenger assaulted her
The incident occurred on a flight from New York City JFK to Orange County, California, causing the Airbus plane to be diverted to Denver
The flight attendant allegedly bumped into the passenger, who has yet to be named, before apologizing
However, the passenger then pursued her down the aisle and punched her twice in face - leaving her with broken bones on her face and nose
A picture appears to show the man being duct-taped to a seat by crew members
The flight was met at the gate by law enforcement who arrested the man, who has not been named
The flight attendant was transported to a local hospital, while American Airlines said has banned the man and will prosecute 'to the full extent of the law'

On an airplane. In the first class cabin. With many others in seats around. Mmhmm.

What in the world set that guy off? A seat bump? Seriously?
