A passenger in the US threw computer monitors at airline staff after he realised he had missed his flight. A video of his altercation with staff trying to pacify him has gone viral on social media.
The incident took place inside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport last month. The video shows the woman climbing over the luggage check-in counter, grabbing luggage and constantly yelling at Frontier Airlines employees.
After an employee pushed her back, the woman immediately picked up a computer monitor and threw it at the employee – striking him in the stomach. She then threw a second computer monitor before the employee could react.
She yells “idiots” at Frontier employees before getting off the stairs.
A passenger who recorded the woman’s ordeal said she became “very upset” when Frontier Airlines prevented her from boarding the plane.
Chicago police said the 31-year-old woman began arguing with two other women, ages 24 and 40, at the airport on July 30.
After attacking airline staff, he threw a mobile phone at a 40-year-old woman and also hit a 24-year-old man in the legs, ABC reported.
The woman then fled from the airport. Police said area detectives were investigating the case.
