, Phoenix-bound travelers were boarding Flight 117 at Love Field when a man in a tan blazer stood over a heavily tattooed man and started pummeling him, video footage showed.
Johnson, a speech language pathologist in Arizona who was just a few rows behind the chaos, said the tattooed man was seated and in no position to fight back or defend himself.Minutes earlier in the gate area, the tattooed man had allegedly accidentally bumped into the the wife of his eventual attacker, Johnson said she learned from other travelers.
"Nothing to share other than to say our Flight Crews are well trained in de-escalation and we commend them for managing the situation and ensuring the Safety and Comfort of the other passengers in the cabin," according to a statement from the Dallas-based carrier. "Someone came up to the tattoo guy and said, 'Sir you have to get off the plane, you need medical attention,' " Johnson said. "He said, 'I can't I have to go to work.' But he got off. His face was swollen like a baseball, he was in rough shape."A Dallas police representative confirmed that officers responded to the plane at Love Field that day but declined any further comment.
