An American Airlines passenger launched an attack on a fellow traveler and a flight attendant while swallowing rosary beads to ward off a “satanic disciple” he believed had stowed away on the flight.

Delange Augustin, 31, was approached in the cabin after flight attendants feared he was suffering from a seizure, before he began his “spiritual battle” against them and the “evil” he believed was on board the aircraft.
