Video shows passengers attacking airline workers at Fort Lauderdale airport

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Three airline employees were injured during a three-woman attack that was captured on video Tuesday night at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

According to Spirit Airlines, all three employees suffered minor injuries when three guests “became combative after a delayed flight.”

According to arrest reports from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the three women beat the plane’s employees “with various items, such as phones, shoes, full water bottles, metal signs, and fast food.”

It happened outside the door of a flight to Philadelphia, and you can see several women in the video throwing things at Spirit employees and then eventually going back to the counter and physically attacking at least one of the employees.

“The victims were also beaten and kicked in different sections of their bodies on numerous occasions,” the arrest documents say.

The three women arrested are all from Philly:

Tymaya Wright, 20, was arrested on charges of touching or hitting the battery and petty theft for allegedly picking up the phone of a Spirit employee.

Danaysha Dixon, 22, was arrested on charges or assault.

Keira Ferguson, 21, was arrested on charges of touching or hitting the drums.

They were taken to the Broward County Jail, where they were released on bail Wednesday morning.

The women declined to share their side of the story with Local 10 News, but said they were trying to return to Philadelphia.

Miramar-based Spirit Airlines released the following statement:

“We thank our team members for their professionalism and prompt action, and we also thank the Broward Sheriff’s Office for their assistance at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport yesterday. Three guests became combative after a delayed flight, and were arrested for physically assaulting our team members. Three of our team members suffered minor injuries. This violent behavior is completely unacceptable and has absolutely no place in airports or any other place of business. We will not tolerate abusive behavior of any kind. Other questions about this incident should be referred to the police. “

The Broward Sheriff’s Office says its investigation is ongoing and that the women could face additional charges.
