A Canadian man was arrested at Miami International Airport after attacking multiple people, including Transportation Security Administration officers.
The TSA confirmed on Monday that the incident took place at 6:40 a.m. on Dec. 28 and involved both a supervisory transportation security officer and a transportation security officer, along with other travelers at the major transit hub in Miami, Florida.
Cameron Dylan McDougall, 28, from Toronto, Canada, faces three counts of battery charges: battery on a police officer, one count of battery each on a person 65 or older, and a misdemeanor battery charge.
One day prior, the same individual was involved in an in-flight disturbance that caused the plane on which he was traveling to divert back to Miami, the TSA told ABC News on Monday. Further information about the incident on Dec. 27 has yet to be disclosed.
According to his arrest affidavit from the second incident, McDougall approached and attacked one victim as the man was walking to his gate. Yanez, identified as the victim in the complaint, said McDougall “never stated anything to him and just walked up on him and started punching him.”
It said that another victim, identified as Mr. Pastor in the complaint, witnessed the attack and “tried to break up the fight” but was punched in the arm by McDougall.
