On a recent flight, a young man was dreaming peacefully in his seat when he suddenly woke up to find himself being punched by a fellow passenger. The young man was bewildered and couldn't understand what had provoked the attack. Witnesses who saw the incident said that the attacker appeared to be suffering from some kind of mental illness or emotional distress. Airline staff were quick to intervene and managed to restrain the attacker before calling in medical help. The young man who was assaulted was left shaken and confused by the incident. He later discovered that the attacker had mistaken him for someone else and had become aggressive when the young man tried to explain that he was not who the attacker was looking for. This kind of senseless violence is becoming all too commonplace on flights these days. Many people are quick to lose their tempers and lash out at those around them, often for no apparent reason. Airline staff are doing their best to deal with this problem, but it's clear that more needs to be done to ensure that passengers are safe and secure while traveling. Perhaps stricter rules and regulations need to be put in place to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future. Whatever the solution might be, it's clear that something needs to be done. No one should have to live in fear of being attacked while simply trying to get from one place to another. We all have the right to feel safe and protected, especially when we are at our most vulnerable, such as when we are on a flight.
