A huge brawl involving at least a dozen people broke out at a baggage claim inside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport Monday night, according to a wild video and police officials.
Two people were arrested following the fight in which travelers were seen throwing punches, pulling hair, and rolling on the floor in an area near a baggage claim carousel, according to footage posted to Twitter.
The massive scuffle was spurred by an argument between passengers deplaning.
The travelers turned to violence in the lower level of terminal 3 shortly after 11 p.m., Chicago police said.
Officers arrested Christopher Hampton, 18, and Tembra Hicks, 20, for allegedly punching a 24-year-old woman.
The travelers brawled in the lower level of terminal 3 at a baggage claim after an argument between passengers deplaning.
Each was charged with one misdemeanor count of battery.
The video shows several people throwing hands in small groups.
One group jumped onto the baggage carousel where they punched and kicked one another while others tussled on the floor, kicking and grabbing handfuls of hair.
One woman can be seen using her headphones as a weapon before a man knocked her to the floor and punched her, prompting louder yells from the crowd, according to the video.

It seems like a mixed group. They are all dressed for a trip to the laundromat.
I wouldn’t have guessed that.
I wonder how many younger people even know what Sunday Best means?
Considering how people dress to go to church nowadays, I bet younger people have no concept of what Sunday Best means.

Oh, great. Now Biden is going to put all sorts of restrictions on buying headphones.
I did not notice they were black because i am not racist. We are all just “people” and every race flips out and has brawls all the time. To think otherwise, is racist.
LOL, there’s no logic or reason.
:-)
Real Africans are good people.
But my comment was a take-off on Robert Downey Jr, when he played an African America and he told Ben Stiller that you aren’t supposed to go full retard, because Ben Stiller didn’t win an academy aware for playing Forrest Gump type character.
Chinese or Indian?
The usual suspects, feral animals.
I recognized a pop culture reference in play, although I didn’t know the exact context. I like Robert Downey, Jr. We should watch “Air America” again. It’s hysterical.
I was jogging around the neighborhood one Sunday afternoon, some years ago, and the Eritrean patriarch, in a 3-piece suit, and his wife, in ten yards of floral-print gauze, passed me - in the same direction - on their stroll up the sidewalk.
“Very good,” he said. “You are trying. One day you will run.”
It came from Tropic Thunder. It was a very funny movie and Robert Downey Jr did an awesome at satirizing the lengths that some actors will go to win an academy award, because he played an Australian that played an African American.
Worth the watch.
Thanks, I’ll see if it’s on any of my husband’s streaming services or in the library.
Going to retire and spend a LOT of time in National Parks. Those animals are less of a problem.
Was watching Seven Days in May this weekend. Had an airport scene. Everyone was dressed nicely.
As a nation we have lost all dignity.
Back when we were a civilized country.
What the h$ll is wrong with black people? Bunch of friggin animals. Everyday, another video.
