According to reports of the arrest, three women threw and beat the airline’s employees with “various items, such as telephones, shoes, full water bottles, metal plates and fast food.”

This happened before flying to Philadelphia at Terminal 4. The attack is recorded in the video.

The women refused to share their side of the story with reporters, but said they were trying to return home to Philadelphia.

Spirit Airlines made a statement: “We thank our team members for their professionalism and quick action, and also thank the Sheriff Broward’s office for the assistance provided yesterday at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Three guests started a fight after a flight delay, and they were arrested. Three of our team members were slightly injured. This violent behavior is absolutely unacceptable and absolutely unacceptable at airports or other places. We will not tolerate abusive behavior of any kind. Further questions about this incident will be directed to law enforcement. ”

Sheriff Broward’s office says their investigation is ongoing and women may face additional charges.
