CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A US Airways Express flight turned
back to Charlotte on Tuesday after a passenger punched a
flight attendant who spilled water in his lap.

Robert Quarture, 32, was arrested when the plane returned
to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. He was charged
with attacking a flight attendant.

According to an FBI affidavit, Quarture punched the
attendant in the stomach shortly after the plane bound for
Birmingham, Ala., took off Tuesday morning.

US Airways spokesman Dave Castelveter said 22 passengers
were aboard the 50-seat regional jet, with a crew of two
pilots and the lone flight attendant.

The male flight attendant was taken to the hospital as a
precaution, then released.
