Video: 4 Baltimore airport workers suspended after all-out brawl at Spirit Airlines ticket counter



Wild video shows the moment that four employees of Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport brawl with a fifth man at the Spirit Airlines ticket counter. The airport workers were suspended for their part in the nasty fight.

Officers with the Maryland Transportation Authority responded to the brouhaha late Tuesday afternoon, according to TMZ.

Video shows four airport employees fighting a fifth man at the Spirits Airlines ticket counter around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

The man was in a fighting stance as four airport employees confronted him. Suddenly, a worker wearing a white button-down shirt charges at the man and takes a wild, flailing punch. The workers gang up on the man.

He falls to the floor and workers punched, stomped, and kicked him. Another employee walked over and socked the man in the face while he was being held on the ground.

The Maryland Transportation Authority said one person suffered minor injuries.

The four ticket agents reportedly worked for a vendor of Spirit Airlines, but are not actual employees.

The vendor said all four employees have been suspended pending the results of the investigation.

Spirit Airlines said in a statement, "We are aware of an altercation that occurred in Baltimore (BWI) on May 28. Our vendor has suspended four of their employees involved pending an investigation into the matter. We do not tolerate violence of any kind, and we will take appropriate action as necessary following the completion of the vendor's investigation."

The Maryland Transportation Authority said in a statement, "All involved parties were provided with victims’ rights and services information, including information about filing criminal charges at the local commissioner’s office."

Neither the Maryland Transportation Authority nor Spirit Airlines responded to requests for comment about the all-out brawl by the Baltimore Banner.

Video shows huge brawl erupt at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, arrests made



Arrests were made after a huge brawl broke out at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

Viral video shows the moment that a fight erupted at the baggage claim area in Chicago's O'Hare Airport around 11:05 p.m. on Monday. The fight featured a flurry of flying fists between recent flyers.

Cell phone camera footage appears to show a man dressed in all-white being one of the main aggressors. The individual slammed a man down on the conveyor belt and kicked him in the face. He then approached a woman from behind, threw her onto the ground, and punched the defenseless woman.

Several female fighters were seen pulling hair and tackling each other.

One woman can be heard screaming, "Security! Security!"

People attempted to break up the brouhaha, but the scrum continued.

A 24-year-old woman was treated for minor injuries, according to authorities.

Two adults were arrested and hit with misdemeanor charges.

WMAQ-TV reported, "Police said an 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, both from the suburbs, were both charged with one misdemeanor count of battery, and were placed into custody following the incident."

Chicago police arrested Christopher Hampton, 18, of Maywood, Illinois, and Tembra Hicks, 20, of Carol Stream, Illinois.

A witness said there was a verbal dispute between three air travelers while disembarking a commercial airliner. The situation escalated into a full-blown brawl at the baggage claim area inside Terminal 3 at O'Hare.

"A verbal dispute while deplaning escalated in the lower level of terminal 3 when a 24-year-old female victim was punched by two offenders," the Chicago Police Department said in a statement to Fox News.

"Safety and security are always the top priorities of the Chicago Department of Aviation," the operator of the airport told WFLD. "We work closely with all of our federal partners present at O'Hare and Midway International Airports and the Chicago Police Department to ensure that everyone is safe when they are in our facilities."

Spirit Airlines gate agent suspended after punching back



A Spirit Airlines gate agent has been suspended for his involvement in the brawl that took place on August 11 at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport .

In a video captured inside Terminal E of the airport by witness Thomas Shannon, a Spirit employee (who the airline has suggested was contracted through a partner company) and a passenger can be seen embroiled in a verbal conflict that turned kinetic.

There is visual context missing from the video since Shannon had responded with camera in hand only after he heard the initial yelling. The commotion is said to be the result of a dispute at the gate.

The agent reportedly told police that the female passenger exited the jetway and began yelling that there was nowhere for her to sit on the plane. After allegedly telling her to join the line in order to speak to an agent, the agent said the passenger cut in line and became uncooperative, prompting him to take her boarding ticket.

The passenger told the Dallas Morning News that she "didn't do anything" and that the agent had torn her boarding pass in half, thereby setting the stage for what came next.

"Don't touch me ever in your life," said the agent, identified in an DFW airport police report as Emmanuel Sullivan of Grapevine. "Don't ever invade my personal space."

The passenger, who has been reported to be Ayriana Davis of Fort Worth, responded by screaming, "Get out of my face." She proceeded to call the employee a "faggot," then followed up the remark with additional profanities, racial slurs, and physical contact.

Sullivan repeatedly told Davis to get out of his personal space, at which point she can be seen in the video giving him a forceful shove.

A male bystander intervened, initially creating some space between the two. However, as the space collapsed and the shouting continued, Davis managed to allegedly smack Sullivan over the bystander's shoulder.

Upon being struck, Sullivan roared: "Oh wait!"

The bystander tried to block the agent's charge, but Sullivan managed to break through and over to Davis, who had begun to flee. In the video, he tackles her to the ground, and despite another attempt by the bystander to intervene, punches the passenger in the side of the head.

Davis told reporters that after the fracas, she went to hospital with a fractured leg, abrasions, and swelling.

After the incident, Shannon — who caught it all on video — posed the question: "What happens when the woman strikes first and is throwing abuses and assaults? ... And what happens when the man snaps?"

Spirit Airlines told WFAA on August 12 that the airline "does not tolerate violence of any kind" and that the "vendor at DFW has suspended the agent."

VIDEO: After missing flight, mother attacks airport staff as daughter begs her to stop: 'Mommy! I don't want you to go to jail!'



A shocking video shows the moment a woman has a complete meltdown after missing her flight, including allegedly assaulting airport staff. As the mother goes on a crazed outburst in the middle of the Orlando International Airport, her two children helplessly look on and beg her to stop.

A New York woman was caught on video erupting into a frenzy after she missed her Frontier Airlines flight on June 30. According to authorities, police responded to a "physical disturbance" around 8:54 p.m. That's when the woman exploded at the Frontier Airlines check-in counter when an employee informed the mother-of-two that she had missed her returning flight to New York, according to the Miami Herald.

The woman blew up at the Frontier Airlines employee and stormed toward the clerk who was behind the counter. One employee pepper-sprayed the enraged woman, but that didn't stop her from swinging at the airport staff and then throwing a computer keyboard. A female employee and the mother exchange obscenities.

The woman was temporarily affected by the pepper spray and walked away as her young daughter pleaded with her to calm down.

"Mommy!" the hysterical girl yells at her mother. "I don't want you to go to jail!"

Her young son watched as her mother caused a ruckus at the Orlando International Airport. The mother tells her son to look after his sister because "I am going to f*** this bitch up."

The viral video shows the mother storm back toward the check-in counter, and this time she grabs a metal separation pole. She hoisted the pole up over her shoulder and swings it at the plexiglass divider, then she hurls more objects at the airport staff.

Police arrive just in the nick of time before the situation could have turned extremely dangerous, as seen in a video posted by Enrique Santos on Instagram.

"Once officers arrived at the scene, they saw the suspect, identified as a 29-year-old woman attempting to strike a Frontier employee with a pole," the arrest affidavit stated.

The law enforcement officer is heard on video asking the mother, "What is wrong with you?"

The Daily Mail identified the suspect as 29-year-old Dana Pierre from Brooklyn, New York.

The Orlando Police Department said Pierre was arrested and was charged with aggravated assault. Her bail was set at $3,000.
