MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - Police arrested a man who appeared to be intoxicated and engaged in disruptive behavior at Miami International Airport.
According to Miami-Dade Police, a supervisor of a TGI Fridays inside the airport called authorities to report a fight involving five people, just before 8 p.m., Wednesday.
A police report states Lee Edwards, identified as one of the passengers involved in the brawl, allegedly yelled racial slurs at the manager and accused her of cutting his finger.
The manager reportedly asked Edwards to calm down before Edwards walked toward garbage cans and returned with bloody hands.
When police arrived at the scene, they put Edwards in handcuffs after he resisted arrest, even kicking an officer in the chest, stated officials.
Video footage showed officers escorting Edwards onto the tarmac inside Gate D, where he continued to resist.
Edwards was transported to the hospital for an evaluation before police booked him into jail. He now faces a range of charges, including battery on an officer and resisting arrest.
