Fight Abroad, Lawsuit in U.S

I am a U.S. citizen in foreign country. Caused personal injury to other American abroad. Can he sue me in the U.S.? Please help! I got into a fight in a foreign country and caused personal injury to another American. I have been told if I stay he can press charges here ( a developing country with a very poor/archaic legal system). He wants me to just pay but I have no garuantee he will not sue me in the U.S. or ask for more money. I heard these kind of cases often get thrown out of U.S. courts or that it would cost more for him to sue in the U.S. than money he is asking for. Should I leave this country immediately? Should I try and settle in the US? Thank you so much for your help-- I have no legal resources here.

what exactly happened onboard and where did you start/ end up and which carrier? that could make all the difference.

The OP is talking about abroad, not onboard. There is no carrier involved.
