According to the police report, Timothy took matters into his own hands and punched a dog with a closed fist. The two couples started arguing, and as Mathew Silvay and Hazel Ramirez explained, they did their best, considering they're deaf.

The dog, Zariel, behaved very well, even according to the other passengers. However, when it was time for a stretch, Timothy was ready to attack the poor animal.

The fight continued as the two couples departed the plane, and Silvay tackled Manley. Silvay acknowledged in the police report to tackle Timothy, saying he did so to detain him until police arrived.

Petrini Manley said the whole incident was a misunderstanding. She explained that her husband accidentally hit the dog, Silvay and Ramirez didn't believe them.

No one was arrested in the incident yet. The case is in it the FBI's hands since the incident started on the plane.
