A Monday flight from Savannah, Georgia, to Miami turned scary when a passenger became convinced that a spiritual battle was underway.

Court records say a passenger on a small regional flight to Miami attacked a flight attendant, kicked and punched the seat of the person in front of him and swallowed rosary beads as pilots returned to the airport in Savannah,

The man also kicked a flight attendant, an arrest affidavit said. He and his sister said they were traveling to Haiti to escape “religious attacks of a spiritual nature.”
