A commotion ensued on a Southwest Airlines flight when a woman tried to open the door of the aircraft and then bit another passenger, claiming that "Jesus told her to do it."
According to the New York Post, the incident occurred on November 26, with Houston-to-Ohio Flight 192 making an emergency landing at Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, where the woman was arrested.
Elom Agbegninou[/B], 34, was reportedly displeased when flight attendants prevented her from reaching the emergency exit. When another passenger intervened, she responded by biting his thigh.

Then the woman on a rampage began banging her head on the floor of the plane, claiming that "Jesus told her to fly to Ohio and open the door," according to documents released by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on Monday.
"They ran to the back of the plane to help. I was thinking worst case scenario, probably the plane crashing, but I know it's a very small chance," a passenger told Fox News.
Agbegninou was arrested, while the passenger who was attacked by the 34-year-old received first aid.
Speaking to authorities after the incident, Agbegninou reportedly said she left home early Saturday without telling her husband and that she was hoping to visit a family friend in Maryland.
She also claimed that she "had not flown in a long time and was anxious" and under other circumstances "would not have done these things."
Agbegninou now faces charges of assault and interference with flight crew members.
