A mother and daughter duo was recently involved in a physical altercation with Spirit Airline gate agents.
On Monday, a brutal fight occurred at Philadelphia International Airport between Spirit Airline employees and a mother and daughter duo. The altercation erupted after a 39-year-old mother and her 17-year-old daughter received extra baggage fees because their carry-on bags exceeded the limit size.
In a now-viral video, the two passengers are seen grabbing and punching the gate agents near the jetway entrance. The 17-year-old teenager then tugs at one of the staffer’s dreadlocks. However, another worker intervenes and hits the teenager in the back of the head.
Eventually, the teen let’s go of the worker’s hair but the angry agent still sends several blows to the girl’s face.
Meanwhile, her mother is just a few steps away and has come out of her shirt and shoes. However, this did not stop the mom from throwing punches as she continues to fight in just her bra.
At one point, a little boy believed to be apart of the family, jumps into the fight and hits one of the employees. Seconds later, the little boy walks away from the fight in tears.
After about 2 minutes, a uniformed official arrives and breaks up the fight. According to the Philly Police Department, no one was seriously injured in the altercation but a 24-year-old woman had a minor cut near her eye.
Nevertheless, no arrests were made following the incident and the flight to Fort Lauderdale continued as scheduled.
