Not one but two brawls broke out at Miami International Airport on Sunday, and both were captured on video.
According to authorities, one suspect was arrested in connection with the melee.
What are the details? Film director Billy Corben shared video of the incident on Sunday, captioning it, "Today at Miami International Airport outside Urban Decay at Gate D14 #BecauseMiami."
In the video, three people can be seen pushing, shoving, and punching one another on one side of Gate D14. Seconds later, the camera pans to the left and spotlights a separate group of four other people who can be seen kicking at and pummeling each other.
Bystanders in the video can be heard shouting to stop the violence, while another person yells for security to intervene.
"Guys, come on!" a male bystander can be heard shouting. "You're going to f***ing kill him!"
Elsewhere in the video, security arrives and attempts to break up the fights, to no avail, prompting bystanders to unsuccessfully attempt an intervention.
Another male can be heard shouting, "Guys, stop it. Guys, stop it, it's an airport!" as a female demands, "You're going to get in trouble. Don't do that. Come on, guys!"
What else do we know about this? At the time of this reporting, Corben's video has been viewed more than 1.8 million times.
A spokesperson for the airport told Fox News in a statement that the brawls resulted in at least one arrest on charges of disorderly conduct.
The news outlet reported, "Authorities noted that the victim attacked by the one individual arrested did not want to press any charges. The victim was treated by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for minor injuries and was released on the scene."
A cause of the fights was not disclosed, Fox reported.
WPLG-TV on Sunday later reported that the suspect was ultimately identified by police as 20-year-old Jameel Tremain Decquir.

Somebody stole the last chicken burger?
How did I know certain personal characteristics of those involved before even I opened the video? Oh yeah, I’m of average intelligence, over the age of 12, and have not been “educated” to excuse away aberrant behavior...
They were really going at it at the counter. You could hear the grunts and kicks. There was some beatings going on.
The usual low-impulse-control folk.
Urban Decay is a fitting venue.
Was there only one chicken sandwich left?
after careful review and deliberation and analysis, i have concluded that this is just another example of the new amish mating ritual. no cause for alarm.
Miami ain’t what it used to be 60 years ago.
The usual white nationalist suspects....
I think it was just a flash mob of thespians recreating a scene from West Side Story.
Was this outside the secure area or inside?!
there seems to be a common element to all these ‘street brawls’ but i can’t quite put my finger on it...
Honestly going through Orlando airport was a nightmare last Sunday. Got there at 5 am and got to the plane at 7:15 for a 7:30 departure. When I got on, the plane was about a third filled. The flight attendant got on and said it’s suppose to be a full flight. We had to wait an hour for the rest of the passengers. TSA sucks!!!!! I never saw it so bad. I don’t blame people for getting aggressive and upset. In line, this idiot had his mask fall below his nose. The kind guy behind him told him to wear it correctly. He put it up but it kept falling down. The guy kept reminding him to pull it back up. The guy told the guy F off. Finally a security guy escorted him out of the airport. The people in line applauded. The guy was annoying with his unworkable mask. Sadly it took to long for the idiot to be taken away.
The role playing section of the stewardess training for Delta Airlines did not go according to plan.
“Only one carry on! I’ll make you eat that second carry on!”
I noticed that as well, best script writer in the world couldn't come up with a sign that good for just such an occasion.
Not satire. It really was outside the Urban Decay store.
