DENVER (AP) — The California man authorities say assaulted a flight attendant on a cross-country flight last week from JFK to California, inflicted damage on his victim. Court documents in Denver say suspect Brian Hsu (shoo) punched the flight attendant in the face after being told he couldn’t use the bathroom. The blow left the woman bleeding around the nose and gave her a concussion. Hsu, who’s 20, is charged with assault and interfering with a flight crew during the flight from New York to Santa Ana, California. Hsu is out on bond and has a federal court hearing in two weeks.
