Although I don't actually believe an assault took place in this story; more like a hysterical passenger that didn't seem to be able to (or want to) calm down.
Only half-seriously there's no detail on how tall or how OLD the flight attendant was. . . She might have been OLDER and frailer than the passenger. This is United, after all. . .; )
But seriously, Im pretty sure it was more than a tap. . . Im guessing grabbed at the flight attendant as she was passing by to show her the boarding pass. When I want to get a flight attendant attention, I use my voice and hand signals. After 9/11 I don't blame a flight attendant for reacting to physical agrressive contact to get their attention.
