A man who had recently undergone a hair transplant procedure and his female companion was forcibly removed from an American Airlines flight at Miami airport after he refused to address his bleeding head wound, causing concerns about potential body fluid contamination.

Eugenio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier, 27, and Yusleydis Blanca Loyola were set to fly from Miami to Las Vegas when the flight crew noticed Hernandez-Garnier’s bleeding forehead. When asked to clean up the wound, he claimed he had no fresh bandages.

The situation escalated as the couple refused to disembark, with Loyola reportedly declaring, “if they could not fly, no one else can either.” Police were called on board and warned the pair of impending arrest. Undeterred, Loyola began live-streaming the incident on TikTok.

The standoff ended with the pair being handcuffed and escorted off the plane, causing further disruption as all passengers had to disembark. They are now facing charges of trespass and resisting arrest.

The incident highlights the potential complications of medical procedures like hair transplants, which involve the relocation of hair follicles and can lead to post-procedure bleeding.
