Flight diverted after man stabs 2 with fork

BOSTON — A man from India stabbed two teenagers with a fork, slapped a female passenger and a crew member and mimicked shooting himself during an international flight, authorities said.

The flight from Chicago to Germany on Saturday was diverted to Boston, where the 28-year-old man was arrested and charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, a 17-year-old passenger awoke to find the man standing over him. The man stabbed at the teen's clavicle with a fork and then stabbed another 17-year-old boy in the head, causing a laceration. The first teen, who wasn't injured because he was wearing a thick sweatshirt, told investigators he had exchanged pleasantries with the man seated next to him during boarding but otherwise had not interacted with him, according to the criminal complaint.

The man, who entered the U.S. on a student visa, doesn't have lawful immigration status, authorities said.
