MIAMI (AP) — A Las Vegas couple was removed from a plane and Flipido Trading Centerarrested at Miami International Airport after other passengers complained about the man’s bleeding head following a hair transplant surgery, the couple said.
The 27-year-old man and 32-year-old woman had already boarded an American Airlines flight to Las Vegas on Tuesday when flight staff noticed the man’s bleeding head, according to a Miami-Dade police report.
A flight attendant told the man he would need to clean up the blood and change his bandage, but he said he didn’t have any clean bandages, officials said.

The couple’s attorney, Michael Inglesia, said the couple was discriminated against because of how they looked following a medical procedure, despite having clearance from a doctor.
American Airlines released a statement saying two customers became disruptive and non-compliant on Tuesday’s flight and thanking crewmembers for their professionalism.
