BOSTON (AP) — 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 the teen’s clavicle with a fork and then stabbed another 17-year-old boy in the head, causing a laceration.

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

[question everything]

1. As I am looking at the headlines on LBN I am thinking: is the whole world gone mad? Yes, with this story

2. His medication wore off during the flight?

Pressurization caused nitrogen narcosis?
He had ordered the fish entree and they brought the Happy Meal plate instead?

3. The flight was from Chicago to Germany, LEAVING the US

How does his immigration status play into it?

6. maybe he was pissed he had to leave

No details so just guessing.

For some reason OP left out the second part of the immigration paragraph.

Usiripalli, who entered the U.S. on a student visa, doesn’t have lawful immigration status, authorities said. He was enrolled in a master’s degree program at Moody Theological Seminary in Chicago from the fall of 2022 to spring 2025, according to the school.

Maybe his visa was expiring? Got kicked out of school? Graduated and had to go home?
