Wild video captures brawl at Miami International Airport

A caught-on-video brawl erupted Sunday at Miami International Airport over airline seats — with one person later arrested.

Footage posted on Twitter by documentary film director Billy Corben shows two separate groups punching and kicking each other at gate D-14 in the American Airlines terminal.

A witness told Local 10 News that seven people were involved in the incident, which started over seats available on the plane.

Airport officials said police immediately responded to the scene.

“The victim did not want to press any charges. However, one person was arrested for disorderly conduct,” Miami-Dade police told the Miami Herald.

“The victim was treated by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for minor injuries and released on the scene,” police added in an email to the news outlet.
