Fly the Friendly Skies! Insane moment United Airlines worker punches passenger at airport check-in before he's smacked so hard he flies into the luggage conveyor belt!

This is the shocking moment a United Airlines worker hits a passenger at the check-in desk before he is punched to the ground in a vicious brawl, leaving his face covered in blood.

Footage shared online shows the employee and the holidaymaker trading punches in the ugly fight in front of horrified tourists at Newark Airport.

The man in the black sweatshirt had approached the check-in desk pushing his luggage in a wheelchair.

The uniformed United employee then confronted him over his use of the wheelchair, which quickly descended into a physical fight.

Footage being shared does not show the start of the altercation but it does show the employee striking the passenger in the face.

LOL. Well, in customer support, that punch is never justified...the other person has to initiate it.

Yes...I did specify that we only see the first punch, but...they appeared squared off, so I wouldn’t expect that from a strictly verbal thing. Wouldn’t be the first time they modified a video to meet the agenda.

The United Employee hit him first, then invited a further fight. Very stupid. It is New Jersey.

Watch the video, the loser hit the employee first.

I as a non-disable (offically) non-vet take offense to your blanket statement. There are plenty of persons that are not vets and have not been assigned a disable sticker that should have access to disabled facilities and equipment at times. People rehabbing from sever illnesses are not given disability stickers even though they are severely handicapped and in sever pain. A one time or short term use of such facilities should be more easily obtained then are now.

Which is why they charged the person of hue

Actually in a longer version of this clip, the customer hits the Airline Employee first... several times in fact... So tired of idiots being played by media and selective editing.

Airline Employee did NOT throw first punch, not even close...

You’d think, on here especially people would learn to ACTUALLY try to get the facts before they pop off...

Btw

Not a vicious brawl

Not by my standards

Average Friday nite tween my teen sons in the day

“Take it out to the pasture now”

Sharp furniture ends can be deadly in a brawl

Plus my rib was usually fanning by then

“Where is the xanax baby?”

I always wondered what “Fly the Friendly Skies” meant. Are they saying that all the other airlines get attacked by the Luftwaffe and Japanese Zeros?

Yes, someone edited the video in a very misleading way. The passenger was charged and not the employee. He may not have handled it best, but the employee has a right to defend himself. I don’t know if the employee is in trouble at work.

Passenger played 16 games in the NFL. Employee is dark looking: could be Hispanic, light skinned black, or maybe Italian or something.

It is really getting out of hand with a certain group.

who does he think he is throwing the first punch?

He didn't, the ex NFL player started it.
