(TheBlaze) – An “all-out brawl” broke out at a Florida airport this week after two women escorted from a plane for allegedly refusing to wear masks were booed and confronted by angry fellow travelers who had also been forced to de-board.
WSVN-TV reported that the incident occurred at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Wednesday, as two women were walked off their flight bound for Chicago and into the terminal by Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies for violating mask policy.
Video footage shows the women walking out among a crowd of angry passengers from the same flight who aimed their frustrations at the pair, with some telling the women to put their masks on. Both women had masks on over their mouths, but their noses were exposed.
According to The Daily Mail, “Soon one of the alleged anti-maskers taunts one of the other women to hit her, which prompts the two to launch into a raucous fight.”
“Words were exchanged,” WSVN reported, citing law enforcement, and then an “all-out brawl” broke out with punches thrown and hair-pulling. The scuffle ended up on the ground.
Eventually, officers were able to break up the fight and a third woman was escorted away along with the two who had been kicked off the plane. However, no arrests resulted from the fight itself. READ MORE
