An American Airlines pilot was beaten Wednesday night as he tried to escort two belligerent brothers, Jonathan and Luis Baez, off a flight from Miami to San Francisco.
The pilot sustained facial bruising and lacerations as well as blurred vision to his left eye. He was replaced and the flight left at 11:30 p.m., about two hours after its originally scheduled departure time.
Jonathan Baez was held Thursday on $9,000 bond on charges of battery and aggravated battery. Luis Baez was held on $12,500 bond on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
