Spirit Airlines agents seen brawling with passengers at Philly airport
Spirit Airlines agents traded blows with unruly passengers as they were boarding a flight in a wild video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
The vicious fight erupted at Philadelphia International Airport Monday night when a mom, 39, and her 17-year-old daughter were hit with extra fees because their carry-on luggage was too large.
The shocking footage begins with the two travelers grabbing and clawing at gate agents in the entrance to the jetway as the Fort Lauderdale-bound flight prepares to board.
The younger woman tugs violently on a Spirit staffer's dreadlocks while an airport worker in a high vis jacket slaps her over the back of the head and shouts 'get off, get off.'
When the teen finally lets go, the furious agent aims several punches at her face – even while the girl is being restrained.
Several feet away her mom has lost her shirt and shoes in the scrap but she fights on in just her bra as a stunned bystander yells: 'Where the f*** is security'.
At one stage a little boy, believed to be part of the same family, starts hitting a Spirit employee before running away in tears and sinking to his knees.
Just as the brawl appears to fizzle the mom makes a dash towards the counter and grabs a keyboard but is dragged away and punched in the head from behind by one of the Spirit agents.
Her wig is torn off before a uniformed official, either a cop or a security guard, finally shows up and the fighting ends, some two and a half minutes into the video.
Officers spoke to everyone involved but have not made any arrests over the 7:30pm dust-up at E Terminal.
Not sure if a dust up or just a kerfuffle.....At least there was a tumble weave.
