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.

Look at the spoof “Airplane” from 1980. Everyone was still dressed up to fly.
No fathers to teach right from wrong. Mothers who won’t or can’t.
I'd venture to guess that there many more such events that no one got on video.
F'n cotton . . .
All yutes. If this was during the academic year, I might guess it was the Latin Club returning from a week in Rome, with tempers flaring because of a long running argument about conjugations. But it’s August, so I’m stumped.
And on a comedy at that!
Yep, that’s what it looked like. Now they wear scrubs, short shorts, dirty……
Tropic Thunder, great and hilarious movie! ❤️it to the max and am IN LOVE with Tom Cruise in it. Want to watch it right now, in fact!
I would imagine this dozen or so hand-tossers will face very long and punitive spells of incarceration and will not be released back into society until they have demonstrated both remorse and a willingness to do better in the future.
I should add that I am nuts in the head.
“Had an airport scene. Everyone was dressed nicely.”
When America was still America, ie before Obama.
I remember riding on a Delta DC-7 with a lounge seating area near the back of the plane wrapping around a table.
Some big white guys involved. Both races pretty mixed up. I was expecting mostly big black women. That seems the group that has the most fun in these melees.
Yall are old. I remember it, too.
Old story from May.
You can’t roller skate in a Buffalo herd
I put 2 and 2 together before I watched the video.
And yep, I was right as I thought who would do this.
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.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yeah right. Who do you think you’re kidding? And what’s so terrible about being racist? And how do you define “racist”?
That sounds like a plan.
Real Africans are good people.

Really? How so? Africans in South Africa are running through the streets right now screaming “KILL ALL WHITES”. Good people?
