An American Airlines passenger has been arrested after allegedly beating one traveller, hitting another and screaming at a steward on a flight to Washington DC – later explaining that he was “mad” and wanted to see President Donald Trump.

Asterius Rulamka was onboard the flight to the U.S. capital from Wichita, Kansas, on March 5, exactly five weeks to the day after the crash of an American Airlines flight on the same route, which killed 67 people.
