As more people begin to fly again, weird interactions continue to occur at airports and on airplanes. Recently, a video has surfaced showing a brawl at Newark Airport between a man who appears to be a passenger, and an employee at the United Airlines check-in station.

Things got even more complicated when the passenger was identified as 27-year-old football player Brendan Langley. Langley once played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos, and he most recently played for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada.
In the video, which has been shared in many different timeframes, the employee slaps Langley. Then Langley gestures to a witness before punching him. After the employee is punched in the face, he falls backwards onto boxes. His face is bloodied, and he continues to try and fight. He approaches Langley, who is still talking and gesturing. Then a female who also appears to be an employee comes over and tries to calm things down.
PIX 11 reported that the man in the vest, who works for a subsidiary company affiliated with United Airlines, was not arrested. However, Langley was taken into custody and booked on a single count of simple assault.
“United Airlines does not tolerate violence of any kind at our airports or onboard our planes and we are working with local authorities to further investigate this matter,” a United Airlines spokesperson said in a statement.
It is possible that the fight began when Langley used a wheelchair to transport his luggage instead of a paid-for luggage cart which cost $5.
The video has gone viral, and people are arguing about who they think threw the first punch.
