Passenger charged

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A Colorado man faces charges of misdemeanor assault for allegedly fighting with a man and pushing a flight attendant on a Northwest Airlines flight.

An argument over a child's behavior sparked the alleged physical confrontation Sunday on Flight 1885 from New York City, Northwest spokesman Jon Austin said Monday.

He said Northwest employees reported that one childless couple and another with two young children were sitting near each other on the flight to Vail, Colo., with a layover at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
