He said he had been cleared to fly by his doctor, and had paperwork saying so, but flight attendants told him to leave after seeing the blood.
The couple refused.
After being released from police custody hours after his arrest this week, Hernandez described what happened.
“I have a lot of pain. I have pain here and pain here on the head,” Hernandez said, pointing at his bandaged head.
He said he flew from Las Vegas to Miami to get a hair transplant and liposuction.
When he and his wife were on their flight back home, he said other passengers alerted flight attendants about his bleeding.
“You need to go out because somebody don’t like what you have on your head,” Hernandez said he was told.
Hernandez provided NBC6 with paperwork from his doctor stating he was cleared to fly and go back to work with no restrictions, which he says he also informed flight staff about.
The flight attendant told him she didn’t care, he said.
The situation escalated.
“She tells me you either go out, or I’m gonna call the police,” Hernandez said.
“I said, ‘Call the police, because that’s injustice. I paid my flight. I don’t have nothing illegal in my packet. Everything is fine’.”
His wife, Yusleydis Loyola, who also underwent cosmetic surgery in Miama, went live on TikTok while thousands watched.
“You guys know I’ve got … breast lift, arm lipo … I can’t even walk,” Loyola tells the camera in Spanish.
“Call 911 … We are being discriminated against and abused.”
Police were called and tried to convince the couple to get off the plane.
“If you don’t get off, they’re going to grab you and they’re going to pull you off,” a female officer standing in the aisle says to a still seated Hernandez.
“If they take me off, they’re going to hurt me,” he responds.
Video then shows two officers standing Hernandez up and placing his arms behind his back. He screams.
Loyola then starts yelling: “Look, he’s recently operated on, he’s just been operated on!”
The phone shakes.
“Do not put my phone down!” she yells at the first officer.
“He’s just been operated on and they’re hitting him!”
Then, Loyola is walked off. She screams and cries, “My breasts!”
Police said the couple was arrested for refusing to comply after multiple warnings.
“This could have all been avoided if they would have just followed the commands or the request of the officers to vacate the aircraft,” Miami-Dade County police spokesperson Argemis Colomé said.
American Airlines said: “During boarding of American Airlines flight 1858 on August 19 from Miami to Las Vegas, two customers became disruptive and were non-compliant with crew member instructions.
“Law enforcement responded and removed both customers from the aircraft.
“We thank our crew members for their professionalism and apologise to our customers for the inconvenience.”
The couple was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.
