A man was arrested for punching a gate agent.
A man was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after punching a Southwest Airlines gate agent.
As the plane prepared to take off, the man was kicked off for refusing to comply with the flight attendants.
When the Southwest plane was forced to return to its gate, he became very aggressive and violent.
In a video posted online,Drummond can be seen punching a gate attendant in the face without warning.
As airport and airline employees attempt to get in between the men, Drummond jumps over a row of seats in an attempt to attack the gate agent again.
He walked away before taking his top off in the terminal.
The camerawomen can be heard telling him not to do that. Don't do that.
The Atlanta Police Department said in a statement that Drummond refused to comply with flight attendants as the Southwest flight was being taxied from the gate to the tarmac.
The department confirmed that after Mr. Drummond was removed from the plane, he threatened a Southwest Gate agent and then attacked him.
The man was taken to the jail on charges of simple battery, battery, and obstruction.
Southwest Airlines has zero tolerance for any type of assault against employees or customers.
Gwendolyn Foster told CNN that her son is still in custody in Georgia, and apologized for the incident.
The staff at Southwest are in my prayers. Foster apologized and said it was caused by him.
He comes from a family that is good. She said that her husband is the pastor of the church.
