Video from the Newark Airport shows a United Airline employee fighting with a passenger and getting nearly knocked out.
“Brendan Langley, 27, was arrested on Thursday May 19 at 11.03am after trading blows with the unnamed United Airlines worker
Videos show the pair sparring, but almost all of the footage shows the airline worker throwing the first punch.
But Langley, who once played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos but most recently played for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada, was the only one arrested.
He was booked on a single count of simple assault on Thursday. The United Airlines worker was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries but he was not arrested.
It is believed that the fight began when Langley used a wheelchair to transport his luggage, instead of a paid-for luggage cart which cost $5.

Why was Langley the only one arrested? The United employee squared up and threw punches & escalated the situation. He just didn’t know how to fight.
So basically Langley is being punished for winning the fight.
The Daily Mail also reports that the United Airlines employee has been fired.
