She'll need God on her side to get out of this one.

Elom Agbegninou, 34, was on Texas to Ohio trip on Saturday afternoon when she reportedly lost her cool because the flight attendants were preventing her from using the emergency exit, according to Click2Houston.

When another passenger stepped in to tackle Agbegninou, she retaliated by biting them on the leg and wouldn't release until they pressed their fingers into her jaw.

The records made public by the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on Monday reveal that the insane lady then started banging her head on the plane's floor while yelling that "Jesus told her to fly to Ohio and Jesus told her to open the door."

Other horrified travelers described the bizarre encounter.

“They were rushing to the back of the plane to help. I was thinking about the worst case, probably that plane will crash, but I know it’s a very low probability,” passenger Ding Yu told Fox News Digital about the fellow traveler intervening. 

A three-hour trip turned into a six-hour journey when the Southwest flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock at approximately 3:30 p.m.

Agbegninou was taken away by police after landing safely, and the bitten victim received hepatitis injections and medicines.

Yu videotaped the incident, in which Agbegninou can be seen yelling even as he is being escorted from the aircraft.

Agbegninou allegedly told police she had left the house early on Saturday morning without telling her husband and that she intended to visit a family friend in Maryland following the incident.

She also claimed she “had not flown in a long time” and “became very anxious and normally would not have done those things.”

Agbegninou is anticipated to be charged with interfering with flight attendants and crew members as well as assault under maritime and territorial jurisdiction, according to the criminal complaint.

If the event is still being investigated, it's unclear.
