The wild video captured three passengers who attacked two Spirit Airlines employees who asked them to make sure their hand luggage was the right size before boarding their flight from Detroit to Atlanta.
Both airline agents were injured and one was taken to hospital after being assaulted by passengers inside the Detroit Metro Airport terminal on Sunday, Spirit Field spokesman Sutton told The Post in a statement an email.
“The agents asked the group to check if their luggage bags were properly sized for the aircraft before boarding, at which point the passengers became combative,” he said.
“Officers tried to defuse the situation calmly, but were physically assaulted by these passengers as they closed a door to stop them from boarding the aircraft,” Sutton added.
Two of the passengers were arrested and a third was summoned and released, according to the company.
“Everyone at Spirit wishes the agents a speedy recovery and we thank them for their courage and professionalism. We also thank the police for responding quickly and arresting those involved in the attack, “Spirit said in a statement.
“This violent behavior is completely unacceptable and has absolutely no place in airports or any other place of business. We will not tolerate any abusive behavior and these passengers will be denied any future travel with Spirit. ”
