Customer Beats Up United Employee at Newark Airport (VIDEO)
Another day, another brawl at a US airport.
United Airlines is investigating a viral video of one of its employees punching a customer.
A bloody brawl broke out Monday morning after a United Airlines employee punched a customer following a disagreement at the checkout counter.
The passenger, Brendan Langley was arrested for simple assault, according to TMZ.
TMZ reported:
An airline passenger and a United Airlines employee were in an all-out brawl at Newark Liberty International Airport, and the worker ended up flat on his ass.
Witnesses say the 2 began arguing before pushing, slapping and ultimately punching each other.
The video starts mid-fight … the worker seems to push the passenger, who then slaps the employee in the face, and then all hell breaks loose.
The 2 square off and then the passenger throws punch after punch … and the blows clearly landed, because the employee eventually falls behind the counter and clearly has trouble getting up and steadying himself.
8:39 AM PT — Cops tell us the passenger, Brendan Langley, was arrested and charged with simple assault.
7:05 AM PT — Law enforcement tells us the passenger was arrested, not the employee … despite the passenger’s claim he didn’t throw the first punch.
