Man knocks out two airport workers and sends girlfriend to the ground in brawl
Shocking footage has emerged of a man attacking two airport workers as passengers were waiting to board an easyJet flight to Alicante at Bristol Airport.
The attacker knocked over the women he was travelling with in his eagerness to take out the two members of check-in staff.
Airline chaos has stretched passengers’ tempers to breaking point, and scuffles have broken out at several British airports.

It’s not known what sparked this most recent fight. At first, the man’s female companion appears to be losing her temper with a member of easyJet staff, gesticulating wildly and shouting at him.
Then the man charges at the check-in desk, knocking the young woman, believed to be his girlfriend, to the ground in the process. He lashes out at the airport worker, then attempts to get to grips with another member of staff.
Luckily, the first airport employee manages to call for security and a bystander tries to prevent the now-enraged airport worker from retaliating.
While that’s the end of the violence, the argument rages on, with the female passenger pushing and shoving as she repeatedly tells the two airport workers to "f**k off” as one of them attempts to hand her bag back to her.
Meanwhile, the aggressor proudly tells the airport workers "I dropped all of youse”.
Steve Rich, who witnessed the altercation, told Bristol Live : "All of a sudden the passenger just threw a fist over one of the guy's shoulders, and just caught the security guard on the mouth."

A spokesperson for Bristol Airport told the Daily Star: “Anti-social, violent, or threatening behaviour will not be accepted by Bristol Airport or airlines.
“Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and will fully support any police investigation.”
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “At around 9.30pm on Friday (17 June), officers based at Bristol Airport responded to a report that members of security staff had been assaulted after two people were stopped from boarding a flight, due to being intoxicated.
“A 39-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of assault. They were both interviewed and given conditional cautions.”
The incident is disturbingly similar to a shocking incident at a United Airlines check-in desk at Newark Liberty International Airport in the US where a fist-fight erupted between a member of the public and one of the airline’s staff.
