This flight was plane torture.
A Connecticut man claims he suffered physical and mental injuries on a trip from Cairo to JFK Airport in New York, according to a federal lawsuit.
Jarek Neczypor, 31, was injured Aug. 17 when a “rolling bag fell from the overhead compartment above his assigned seat” aboard Flight 985 on EgyptAir, the Manhattan federal filing states.
The bag struck Neczypor in the face causing “severe and permanent bodily injuries,” including a “cracked” upper incisor tooth, he says in the litigation.
To add insult to injury, the cabin crew moved the injured man to another seat on the plane that was “damaged and not secured to the floor,” the suit says.
Neczypor suffered neck and back injuries while enduring the 11 1/2 hour flight in the “damaged and defective seat,” the filing says.
The suit against EgyptAir seeks unspecified damages for pain, anguish and mental suffering.
Neither Neczypor’s attorney nor EgyptAir returned messages.
