Daydrena Walker-Williams, 29, has been charged with felony assault and harassment for allegedly punching Nataly Hernandez in the face on board a plane at Portland International Airport

A woman is facing felony charges after police say she punched a mother on a Spirit Airlines flight at Portland International Airport on Sunday because the victim's children had kicked the back of her seat.

Daydrena Jaslin Walker-Williams, 29, pulled her luggage from an overhead bin and then struck passenger Nataly Hernandez two to three times with her fist, leaving the woman with a bleeding lip and lumps on her head, a probable-cause affidavit states.

Walker-Williams admitted to the beating, according to the complaint. She told police she was upset Hernandez’s children, ages three and seven, kicked the back of her seat.

According to Walker-Williams, when she told Hernandez 'to tell her kids to stop it,' the mom-of-two ignored her and later 'hit her on the shoulder, reported The Oregonian/OregonLive.

During her interview with police, Walker-Williams claimed she did not tell a flight attendant about being hit because her 'first reaction was to fight,' according to the affidavit.

Walker-Williams’ reply according to the affidavit was, 'You do what you got to do.'
