They’ve certainly got spirit, there’s no arguing that.
A group of Spirit Airlines passengers were filmed brawling in the aisle of a plane that had just landed in Puerto Rico following an argument that began between two parties on the Sunday evening flight, according to a witness.
In the end, a female passenger was tased by responding police officers before being arrested.
The flight, from Newark, N.J., to San Juan, had touched down at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport when fists started flying. It remains unclear who initiated the altercation.
WARNING: Footage contains graphic content
In the footage, shot by fellow passenger Carlos Paredes, the female passenger is seen shouting at someone in the aisle while a man in a reflective vest, perhaps a Spirit crew member, stands between her and her target. Someone is then seen striking the woman, who retaliates by throwing punches at a few of the passengers.
Spirit staffers appear to calm the situation for a few seconds, only for a male passenger to grab at the woman’s hair, igniting yet another retaliatory attack.
When the crowds clear, members of the police can be seen standing over the row where the woman was seated, holding Tasers.
CBS reporter David Begnaud said he later spoke to another passenger, named Alfredo, who claimed that the woman and her travel companions had not been wearing their masks, and had been switching seats during the flight. He also said that once the plane landed, three other male passengers began “yelling homophobic [and] racial slurs” at the group, which eventually sparked the physical altercation seen in Paredes’ video.

Let me guess.
She’ll be fried, tied and laid to the side!
Yes, let’s make Puerto Rico a state.
Hey, now, the flight came from Newark - throw New Jersey out of the Union instead.
Do I REALLY need to see pictures?
Obviously Michael is related to Maria?? LOVE MARIA!!
People acting like animals with no self control.
Sad.
You must be psychic! Sho nuff!
She seems nice...
I shouldn’t have looked.....they are FORCE FEEDING ME RACISM!
If you watch the video, you will see that your guess is right. No Amish involved.
It’s always Spirit Airlines.
The Trailways of the air....
Newark to San Juan....the route least requested by flight attendants.
A Plane full of pissed off Puerto Rican’s. What could go wrong?
That airline seems like Walmart with wings. Full of crazed and sometimes dangerous people. Difference is that Walmart has never cost me two grand by canceling flights without any notice.
Some of the less woke folks used to call that a ‘chimp out’. While Urban dictionary doesn’t show it as having racial overtones, Wiktionary does. So use with caution in woke company.
Yep, exactly as expected. Every blue moon it is a crazy white person, but usually it is just boringly predictable.
