American Airlines employee stabs co-worker in Boston airport

An employee of AA stabbed a co-worker.

Two American Airlines employees were involved in a fight in Boston on Tuesday.

Police responded to a report of an assault on the ramp of Terminal B, where Kenric Smith, a 34-year-old Leominster man, had gotten into a fight with a fellow employee and stabbed him with a Leatherman-brand multi-use tool.

The victim, a man from Lynn, was conscious when he was taken to the hospital.

The safety of the public and other employees was not at risk because of the dispute between the two men, according to a police spokesman.

Smith was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon at East Boston District Court.

There was no information on bail.

An American Airlines spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident that occurred at the Boston airport involving two American Airlines team members and are working closely with law enforcement to assist in their investigation."
