Woman punches a flight attendant and knocks out her teeth

Pre-covid I used to fly a fair amount - once a month was about my average, sometimes more - and usually on SW.
I noticed a thing that some people try to pull “lately”. More than once I’ve seen people jump up and try to bolt to the front as soon as the seatbelt light is off. We’re not talking people who have to run to get another flight because this one was delayed. When that is the case, the flight attendants will generally announce that there are people with connecting flights, please let them through, etc…
Nope, they just want to beat the rush. I have absolutely stopped people in their tracks trying to do this.
“One row at a time, dude” is what I say. I’ve yet to be argued with as I make it very clear I am serious.
