A deaf and pregnant woman says a man punched her in the stomach and hit her service dog on an airplane as it arrived at a Florida airport.
Hazel Ramirez says she and Matthew Silvay, her partner, were confronted Thursday by Timothy Manley, who objected to their service dog, Zariel, a Great Dane.
Manley says the dog triggered his wife's allergies as the flight from Colorado Springs to Orlando was making its descent.
According to an Orlando police report, Manley punched the dog, upsetting the couple, who yelled at him.
Ramirez says she was punched during a subsequent physical confrontation with Manley.
Officers took statements and referred the case to the FBI. Ramirez says she plans to press charges.
