After a harrowing incident at 40,000 feet, Francisco Severo Torres, a 34-year-old man from Leominster, Massachusetts, has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a terrifying mid-flight confrontation on a United Airlines plane.
According to the District of Massachusetts’ U.S. Attorney’s Office, Torres admitted to attempting to open an emergency exit door and attacking a flight attendant with a broken metal spoon during a flight from Los Angeles to Boston.
