A cruise ship worker from South Africa was arrested in Alaska's capital city, accused of attacking a woman and two security guards with scissors on board the vessel. The 35-year-old man is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon within maritime and territorial jurisdiction.
According to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Matthew Judy, the man had recently been hired by a cruise line and joined the ship, the Norwegian Encore, in Seattle. The ship departed for a weeklong trip with scheduled stops in Alaska ports and British Columbia.
