Three Guests became combative following a delayed flight, and they were arrested for physically assaulting our Team Members. Three of our Team Members sustained 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. Further questions about this incident should be referred to law enforcement.”The Broward Sheriff’s Office says that their investigation is ongoing and that the women could face additional charges.Copyright 2020 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved.About the Author:
