Comedian Guy Branum Says He’s Going To Sue Man Who Allegedly Hit Him on Flight

Comedian Guy Branum says he’s going to drag the man he claims hit him on a Delta flight to court … ’cause he’s ready to press charges and sue.

We got Guy out in Los Angeles and our photog asked him about his recent Delta flight, where Guy claimed a man sitting next to him elbowed him in the ribs for being too fat.

Guy showed us a bruise from the alleged elbow swing and says he’s going to file a police report and a lawsuit … telling the man, “You can’t hit somebody because you think they’re fat.”

He says Delta didn’t boot the man from the flight because of his top tier frequent flier status … and he says the airline finally called him to talk about what happened. Delta told us earlier this week they’d be contacting him in regard to his claims.

Remember … Guy claims Delta basically did nothing, even though other people seated near them told crew they saw the man elbow Guy.

Guy isn’t just on a crusade against Delta and his flying foe … he says airlines in America need to do more for oversized passengers.

The comic travels a lot for work and has some Delta status himself … and we asked him if he would still fly the airline after all that’s transpired — and it sounds like he may be looking elsewhere.
