Footbrawler gets flagged
KOs airline worker
Shocking video captured the moment a former NFL
player squared off with a United Airlines employee in a violent scuffle at Newark Airport last week.
The footage, which starts mid-brawl, shows the airline employee shove a passenger, identified by TMZ as exDenver Broncos cornerback Brendan Langley.
Langley, 27, then unleashes a flurry of blows that sends the worker reeling.
The dazed, uniformed staffer then puts up his dukes and proceeds to slap the much-larger athlete across the face.
“You saw that s—?” Langley shouts at a bystander before delivering a punch
that sends the worker to the floor and left him bleeding from the head.
The bloodied United worker stumbles back on his feet and confronts the football player again.
“You wants some more? He wants some more!” Langley yells at him.
Meanwhile, cries to “stop” can be heard in the background amid the brawl.
Langley, who is now a receiver for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada, was arrested Thursday and charged with simple assault, according to TMZ.
It is unclear from the footage who exactly threw the first punch but the airline worker has not been arrested, the outlet added.
Another video shared online of the incident appeared to show Langley land the first blow.
The skirmish is believed to have began when Langley used a wheelchair to transport his luggage — instead of a luggage cart which cost $5, the Daily Mail reported.
Langley addressed the incident on Twitter Thursday, writing: “yall aint off the hook… worst customer experience in the entirety of my life on Heaven !!!! ”
He then claimed in a tweet Monday, after TMZ first reported on the story, that he was assaulted by the United worker and was defending himself.
