NEW YORK—Three women are facing federal charges of attacking an airline security worker who tried to block them from boarding a flight at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport in September because of what prosecutors say was problematic behavior, including a refusal to wear a mask properly.
The three were released on $25,000 bond each after arraignment Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn. Two defendants’ attorneys, Mia Eisner-Grynberg and Jacob Barclay Mitchell, declined to comment Friday; a message was left for the third woman’s attorney.
