Spirit Airlines flight attendant nearly pummeled trying to stop wild fight between two passengers
Shocking video shows a Spirit Airlines flight attendant nearly getting pummeled while desperately trying to break up a fight between two men who had been constantly arguing on a Boston-bound flight.
The wild video from aboard Flight 3907 shows two men lunging at each other as soon as the plane touched down at Logan Airport late Tuesday, Boston 25 News reports.
As the men start beating one another with a flurry of punches, the flight attendant jumps in between to try and break them apart.
When that fails, the flight attendant is left with no choice but to move out and let the wild brawl carry on as the men fall into a row of seats.
Other passengers are seen yelling at the men to stop as the flight crew orders everyone to quickly get off the plane.
Nicole Grome, who was on the plane with her parents, told the local outlet that the two men had been shouting at one another throughout most of the two-hour trip from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Grome, a Coastal Carolina University student, said she was stunned when the two men started brawling once the plane landed, but she was grateful for the heroic flight attendant who made sure no one else would get caught up in the fight.
“That poor flight attendant. She was doing her best,” Grome said. “She’s putting herself in a dangerous situation to protect everyone else on the flight.”
Passengers said that after exiting the flight, they were confused to see the two men simply exiting the plane and making their way through the airport.
Massachusetts State Police said one of the men, who they only identified as the victim of the brawl, told them he was not injured and was not seeking to press charges on his attacker.
Spirit Airlines said in a statement that the incident was reported to police and that the men involved are on the airline’s no-fly list.
“We do not tolerate disruptive behavior of any kind, and the passengers involved are no longer welcome on any of our flights,” a Spirit spokesperson said.
