A chaotic incident unfolded on a JetSmart flight from Buenos Aires to Cordoba when a passenger allegedly bit a police officer after refusing to pay for excess baggage. The woman initially ignored airline staff who attempted to prevent her from boarding due to her overweight hand luggage. Despite this, she managed to slip past security checks and boarded flight JA 3104 just minutes before its scheduled departure. When airport police arrived to remove her from the aircraft, they faced resistance, with the passenger reportedly biting a female assistant officer's arm during the altercation. Fellow travelers documented the scene, with some applauding as the woman was finally escorted off the plane. The incident took place on a Tuesday at Jorge Newbery Airpark, and the woman received treatment for minor injuries at the airport's medical center following her arrest.
