Confrontation Between Passengers On Flight From Denver Caught On Video

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CBS4) - A violent confrontation in the Salt Lake City International Airport involved two passengers on the same flight from Denver.

The older man said a man with a skateboard was using foul language, so he asked him to stop. After they landed, video shows the boarder throw a punch. He then gets thrown on the ground.

"In a former life I was a corrections officer about 10 years ago and my training was to never punch back. It was to control the situation and to take the person down," passenger Chad Hurst said.

Police quickly arrived and arrested the skateboarder. He has been charged with assault and public intoxication.
