A dramatic video captured a hand-to-hand combat that erupted at Puerto Rico’s international airport in San Juan after a drunk woman refused to get off a plane bound for Philadelphia, according to a report.
The chaotic incident took place Monday at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, where the woman refused to disembark at the request of the crew, according to Storyful.
Meanwhile, another passenger became ill more or less at the same time, setting the stage for the ensuing chaos after the captain canceled the flight by invoking a coronavirus policy allowing such action for illness, an airport representative said.
Images shared by passenger Jorge Luis Vargas capture the pilot’s poorly received announcement. In a second video, a crowd of people is seen assaulting a woman inside the terminal.
Local media identified Blawer Diskson More, 33, of Philadelphia, as a passenger who allegedly bothered the flight. It was unclear if he was the one intoxicated.
A second passenger, identified as Spencer Crone, 32, also from Philadelphia, was allegedly assaulted while trying to defend the victim.
Both refused medical attention, according to local reports. The police were called and made arrests.
The airline involved was not immediately available.
