A woman who claimed to be six months pregnant was arrested and charged in an altercation at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.
The woman viciously beat up a Spirit Airlines employee despite claiming she is with child.
Witnesses said the traveler was the aggressor, hitting the worker first. She was upset because the gate agent said she was not going to fly on the flight due to various threatening comments she made before the boarding process.
Video captures the assault. In the background, people are yelling for them to fight, but they toss and tumble through the gate area, knocking themselves into barriers during the all-out brawl.
“Stop! Stop!” a woman yells.

Que Maria Scott, 29, is seen hitting Jasmine Rhoden in the face while the two were at a gate in the airport. Scott, who was said to have smelled like she was drinking despite later saying she is pregnant, was scheduled to be on a flight on Sunday, April 30.
