According to reports, a former NFL player and airport worker engaged in a fight at Newark Liberty International Airport, which was recorded on a cellphone by witnesses. The employee was knocked down multiple times and left bloodied during the altercation.
A video shows a worker from United Express Ground, a subsidiary of United Airlines, confronting another man near the baggage check-in area at New Jersey’s airport on Thursday morning at 11 a.M., As reported by the Police Authority at Port.
The man identified by Port Authority as Brendan Langley, a former NFL cornerback who recently played as a wide receiver for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, confronted the worker. The passenger was said to be improperly using a wheelchair to move his luggage.
The employee who seemed to strike Langley in the head was captured in a video filmed on a mobile phone by an observer, although it is uncertain what transpired just before the altercation. Subsequently, Langley retaliates by smacking the worker in return, and both individuals exchange words.
