Spirit Airlines Flight Delay: Passengers Kick, Punch Employees At Florida Airport, Video Shows

Three airline employees were injured during an attack by three women over a flight delay at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida Tuesday night. The brawl captured on video took place at a gate for a Philadelphia-bound Spirit Airlines flight Tuesday night.

According to Spirit Airlines, the three employees suffered minor injuries when three guests “became combative following a delayed flight.” In the clip shared online, several women were seen hurling items at the workers before going behind the counter and attacking at least one employee.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest reports, among the items leveled at employees were "phones, shoes, full water bottles, metal boarding signs and fast food.”

The arrest documents say that " the victims were also punched and kicked in different sections of their bodies numerous times."

The three women - all from Philadelphia - involved in the incident were arrested.

Tymaya Wright, 20, was arrested on charges of touch or strike battery and petit theft for allegedly taking a Spirit employee’s phone. Danaysha Dixon, 22, was arrested on charges of or strike battery. Keira Ferguson, 21, was arrested on charges of touch or strike battery.

They were taken to the Broward County Jail, where they were released on bond Wednesday morning. The Broward Sheriff’s Office said that their investigation is ongoing and that the women could face additional charges.

Miramar-based Spirit Airlines released the following statement:

“We thank our Team Members for their professionalism and quick actions, and we also thank the Broward Sheriff’s Office for their assistance at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport yesterday.
