Police in Boise, Idaho, arrested a man who punched a teenager in the
arm for refusing to turn off his iPhone during a flight from Las Vegas,
local media reported Wednesday.
Passengers on the flight said the
dispute began as flight attendants announced the final approach to land
late Tuesday and instructed passengers to turn off cell phones and
electronic items, according to KBOI2.com.
The 15-year-old — who
was listening to music and playing games on his iPhone at the time —
did not respond to the flight attendants’ request.
