A B777-200 FLT ATTENDANT WAS SPIT IN HER FACE BY A PAY DURING AN ATLANTIC OP.

Narrative

I AM A FLT ATTENDANT. ON JUL/MON/02 I WAS WORKING ON FLT FROM NEW YORK. AT ABOUT XA30 I WAS IN THE GALLEY WORKING WITH ANOTHER FLT ATTENDANT. I WAS FACING AROUND FROM FIRST CLASS AND TALKING WHEN I NOTICED THAT HE WAS DISTR AND LOOKING INTO FIRST CLASS. I FOLLOWED HIS GAZE. I SAW A FLT ATTENDANT THAT WAS SPEAKING WITH A PAX. I COULD HEAR RAISED VOICES; BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. THEY WERE FACING EACH OTHER AND THEIR FACES WERE ABOUT 18 INCHES APART. FLT ATTENDANT HAD HER BACK TO ME AND PAX WAS FACING ME. I THEN SAW PAX STICK HIS TONGUE OUT AND BLOW THROUGH HIS MOUTH WHILE HIS TONGUE WAS STILL OUT. THE FLT ATTENDANT TURNED AROUND TOWARDS ME AND SHE SAID 'DID YOU SEE WHAT HE JUST DID? HE SPIT AT ME.' I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS TOWARDS ME OR JUST AT ANYONE IN THE CABIN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT. I CONTINUED ON WITH MY WORK. LATER IN THE FLT; THE FLT ATTENDANT CAME TO ME CRYING AND SAID 'I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD DO THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON -- TO SPIT IN THEIR FACE.' THE FO WAS THERE AND HE COMFORTED HER.
