Pen Weapon Assault on a Flight to Vegas | Las Vegas News

A passenger on a flight from Seattle to Vegas went berserk mid-air, allegedly assaulting another passenger with a homemade weapon made of three pens taped together with hair ties. He punched, hit, and stabbed the victim, who needed stitches and eye injuries, before trying to storm the front of the plane—only to be subdued by fellow passengers. After landing, he told cops the victim was harassing him and that he tried to murder him by jamming the pen into his brain. A permanent resident from Mexico, Lopez has since pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and faces sentencing on September 22.
