An African American woman said she felt humiliated after American Airlines called police on her because a white passenger complained about her arm touching hers on a Raleigh-Durham flight last week.
"The cops were called on me for flying while fat & Black,” Amber Phillips said in a series of tweets that were first reported by The Washington Post.
The incident happened on a flight to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., Phillips said.
“Flight attendant called the cops on me bc I made the white woman sitting next to me uncomfortable bc my arm was touching hers,” Phillips tweeted.
