Jim Jones Involved in Airport Fight, Claims Self-Defense [Video]

Jim Jones found himself in the middle of a physical altercation at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, as seen in a new video obtained by TMZ. The incident, which escalated quickly at the bottom of an escalator, involved Jones and two other men.

In the footage, Jones is seen throwing punches, which accidentally strike an older man causing him evident pain as he falls to the floor. Amid the chaos, a woman manages to turn off the escalator, but the fight continues despite attempts by bystanders to intervene.

The confrontation was eventually broken up by law enforcement officers. Jones, caught in the heat of the moment, is heard defending his actions to the officers, stating, “It’s two of them against me,” before being escorted to sit down. One of the men involved in the altercation with Jones appeared particularly agitated, struggling to free himself from a sheriff deputy’s hold, although additional officers soon arrived to control the situation.

Jim Jones commented on the incident to TMZ Hip Hop, asserting, “I was minding my business and defended myself. They got what they were looking for.”

As of now, it remains unclear if any arrests have been made following the incident. Local police have been contacted for more information, but there has been no immediate response.
