OMG: Dragged on Floor, Attacked with Hanger: Air India Crew Member Assaulted in London Hotel
A disturbing incident has been reported from London, where an Air India cabin crew member was brutally attacked at the Radisson Red Hotel near Heathrow Airport. The attack took place late Thursday night, leaving the crew member severely injured and requiring immediate hospitalization. The attacker attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended and handed over to the police.
Crew Member Severely Injured in the Attack
According to media reports, the incident occurred around 1:30 AM at the Radisson Red Hotel. The crew member was asleep in her room when the assailant entered and launched a vicious attack. Startled, she woke up and began screaming for help. As she tried to escape towards the door, the attacker struck her with a clothes hanger and dragged her across the floor, inflicting serious injuries.
Attacker Apprehended
Following the attack, the assailant attempted to flee, but people outside the hotel managed to catch him and turn him over to the police. The injured crew member was rushed to the hospital and was unable to return to duty. A fellow crew member stayed with her for support. Media reports suggest that the airline crew had previously raised concerns about safety issues at the hotel, including dark corridors, unmarked reception areas, and strange knocks on doors, but these complaints were reportedly ignored, leading to the tragic incident.
Air India Expresses Sorrow Over the Incident
Air India has confirmed the incident and expressed deep sorrow. A spokesperson for the airline stated, "We are deeply saddened by this incident. We are in close contact with our colleague and her family, providing all necessary support.

The airline emphasized its commitment to the safety and well-being of its crew members and staff.
