A buff barber from Hell’s Kitchen went berserk while high on drugs during a flight from JFK to Seattle and had to be restrained when he tried to open an emergency exit, officials said.

 

Jordan Fragiacomo, 28, tried to open a rear exit door on an Alaska Airlines flight Monday after babbling incoherently and attempting to kiss two flight attendants, according to a police report.

 

“If you continue to restrain me, there’s going to be problems,” Fragiacomo said at one point.

 

During the flight, Fragiacomo began grabbing passengers’ headphones and drinks, the report said.

 

A witness said that it was “obvious he was under the influence of something” and that he was speaking nonsensically.

 

Fragiacomo then tried to smooch a flight attendant before deciding he wanted to “get off the flight” and bolted toward the back door.

 

Several flight attendants and two off-duty pilots were able to finally restrain him, but not before he grabbed a second attendant and once again tried to plant a kiss on her.

KIRO-TV Seattle reporter Linzi Sheldon posted a cellphone video to her Twitter account showing the bespectacled suspect with his hands handcuffed behind his back.

 

Two uniformed officers are seen leading the suspect — who was sporting shorts and a blond Mohawk — off the jet.

 

The video caption reads, “Omfg they made an emergency landing to arrest this guy.”

 

Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Halley Knigge told the Associated Press that the suspect “attempted to access one of the doors in the rear of the aircraft” and was “removed by law enforcement” upon landing.

 

Knigge noted that it’s impossible to open a jet door while the craft is pressurized and in flight.

 

The Boeing 737-900ER had taken off from JFK at 7:40 a.m. New York time. The jet eventually continued on to Seattle.

Jordan Fragiacomo, a barber in Hell’s Kitchen and assistant for the Matinee party created a scene during a flight from New York to Seattle on Monday when he tried to open the emergency exit door while the plane was in mid-flight.

 

Shoshana Godwin, the passenger sitting next to him told Seattle news KIRO 7 that “he kept stopping to go into his bag and then I watched him take a pill out of his bag.” She also added that he said he needed to “cancel his flight and get off the plane, and just was kind of speaking a little gibberish.”

 

 

According to the New York Post, Fragiacomo had to be restrained by the flight crew and was “babbling incoherently and attempting to kiss two flight attendants.”

 

“If you continue to restrain me, there’s going to be problems,” Fragiacomo told the flight attendants at one point during during the incident.

Fragiacomo admitted to authorities that he had ingested GHB, cocaine and Xanax three hours before takeoff.

 

The jet was forced to make an emergency landing at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 9:45 a.m. EST.

Fragiacomo has been a known face around New York nightlife since his days as a go-go boy at Splash in Chelsea. When authorities asked for identification he directed them to a website that lists the services he provides as a barber, including a “hot shave in the privacy of your own home.”

Fragiacomo was taken to Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina, Minnesota.
