An American Airlines flight attendant has been suspended after allegedly hitting a woman with her stroller and witnesses say, barely missing her two children.

An American Airlines spokeperson tells Reuters the incident started over a dispute about whether or not the woman could bring her stroller on the flight.  Witnesses say the woman, who had two young children with her, was looking for room to store the foldable stroller when a flight attendant told her she had to check it.  Security was requested when she refused to hand over her stroller, and the male flight attendant "violently" took it from her, hitting her in the head and nearly striking her children.  The flight attendant has been suspended, and American Airlines says it's investigating.  The company says it's "deeply sorry" for the incident.  The woman and her family, who were travelling internationally, were upgraded to first class for the rest of their trip.
