Louisiana’s New OrleansWhen a Delta Airlines flight attendant, who was supposedly blacked out, allegedly stabbed a coworker in the neck after an argument, a night of heavy drinking in New Orleans, Louisiana, took a violent turn. One victim was hurt in the early Monday morning event, and another crew member is being charged with attempted murder.
The Violent Outburst in a New Orleans Hotel
Around 3:15 a.m., Joshua Smith, 36, was partying with a number of coworkers when they saw his conduct become increasingly erratic while returning to their hotel. After the group tried to help Smith return to his room, a fight broke out, and Smith retaliated by hurting a female coworker.
Police said that during the altercation, Smith sliced her on her neck and arm. The woman was able to pull away and tried to flee by running to a different floor of the hotel.
A hotel security guard stepped in to stop Smith from pursuing her. Smith also assaulted the guard during the ensuing confusion, cutting him on the thumb before being restrained. Although the weapon used in the assault has not been made public, it is obvious that things swiftly got out of hand.
Charges Filed and Smith s Defense
Smith was taken into custody soon after the assault and is currently being charged with several offenses, including simple violence, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and attempted second-degree murder. The gravity of the allegations emphasizes how serious the alleged offense is.
According to Smith’s lawyer, the flight attendant doesn’t remember the violent outburst. The attorney said that Smith had been drinking excessively all night and had lost consciousness during the encounter. According to the lawyer, Smith had no intention of killing anyone, and the attack was a regrettable result of his intoxication.
Delta Airlines Responds to the Incident
Delta Airlines has taken a strong stand on the issue, highlighting its zero-tolerance policy for violence, both inside and against its workforce. As the inquiry goes on, the airline promised to work with law enforcement to the fullest extent possible. Although Smith has suffered severe repercussions as a result of the incident, the airline has not yet disclosed what actions would be done in relation to his work position.
Smith’s behavior has sparked serious worries about the possible risks of binge drinking for workers in high-stress occupations, such as flight attendants. Understanding how such an altercation may occur, especially in a professional context where safety should always be a concern, will probably become more important as the case develops.
