A Florida lawyer has been charged with knocking out an elderly passenger on board a Norwegian Cruise ship, according to authorities.

Married father of two Phillip Ortiz, 38, allegedly attacked the 67-year-old man on the Norwegian Cruise Line Encore after he told him that he couldn’t go down a hallway that was restricted to other passengers at the time.

“Who the f—k are you to tell me what I can and can’t do,” the Miami Lakes attorney shot back and then pushed the victim, according to an arrest report obtained by NBC Miami .

The victim pushed away Ortiz and his wife, enraging the lawyer, sparking a scuffle, according to police.

Ortiz at one point tripped the victim, who landed on his head, knocking him out with Ortiz’s full weight on him, the documents said.
