A California man was federally charged after allegedly attacking two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers and seriously injuring a Dallas police officer at Dallas Love Field Airport, officials said.

Idress Vinay Solomon, 33, of Oakland, California, faces up to 20 years in prison after being accused of assaulting a federal officer and inflicting bodily injury.

According to a federal complaint filed Wednesday, Solomon had a ticket for a Southwest Airlines flight to Oakland International Airport March 10.

Prosecutors said Solomon approached the airport security checkpoint without identification and was directed by a TSA officer to a different lane to be identified through the agency’s ConfirmID process.

Solomon allegedly became "verbally disruptive and aggressive" after the process failed to verify his identity, according to the complaint.

Solomon allegedly punched a TSA officer in the back of the neck after the officer called for a supervisor.

According to a complaint, the Dallas Police Department responded to the incident, and Solomon allegedly punched one of the officers multiple times in the face, causing a serious orbital blowout fracture to the officer’s left eye that required hospital treatment.

Good thing he wasn’t going the other direction (Oakland to Dallas) - he’d already be out, no cash bail, the TSA agents and police officer charged with assault and brutality - and the airport sued.

Who shows up at an airport without ID? Lock him up while he pays for the damages.

He should've stuck with voting..... don't need ID for that.....

I was thinking Papau New Guinea, except that’s considered Oceania, not Asian.

Could he be Blasian ? Perhaps he just identifies as Asian.

The booking info for Central American Indians is always listed as white.
