And he was saying things like, you, you puny mortal man, if you challenge me, it will result in your death.鈥 Evans said he then went to use the restroom and told the flight attendants what was going on. The flight attendants told him to push the button for assistance if the argument continues. Evans said he pushed the button, the media report said. 鈥淗e kept threatening me with death,鈥 said Evans in the report. 鈥淭hat’s what made me get up and press the button above me and I just turned around and I looked at him and I responded to him. A lot was going on, and immediately he just got up and he put his forehead on my forehead like he was challenging me.鈥 Evans said the situation quickly escalated and Sharma was 鈥渓ooking at me very angrily and we’re looking eye to eye, forehead to forehead, and then he just grabs me by the throat and just starts choking me. At that moment it was, you know, fight or flight responses kick in. I’m in a tight, confined space on an aircraft, and all I can do is just defend myself鈥. 鈥淚f you see on my face, I’ve got some scratches from him,鈥 said Evans.
