(WATCH) Police Officer Pulls Gun On Mob Attacking Him At Miami Airport (VIDEO)
A fight broke out in a Miami International Airport terminal with at least one police officer being involved and led to two men being arrested. The incident occurred Monday evening near Gate 8 and escalated quickly.
Airport employees told the police that an angry passenger stole the keys to an employee golf cart and refused to let the worker leave. Allegedly, that passenger broke the keys in the ignition and sat on the golf cart while leading a chant in Spanish that said, “We want a solution!”
The golf cart airport worker called the police. The officer on the scene tried to calm the situation down.
Video posted to Twitter shows an individual arguing with a police officer. The cop began to walk away, looking aggravated, which prompted the man speaking with the officer to grab the cop’s wrist. The police officer turned around and smacked the man. Then, the brawl began with many passengers hopping in. As the police officer was surrounded he drew his firearm.
