A man is in the Tarrant County Jail after his dramatic arrest that unfolded in front of passengers waiting for flights at DFW Airport.
It happened Thursday in Terminal B.
Witnesses said the man, who arrived on a flight from Orlando, was smoking at a customer service counter past security.
He was asked to put out his cigarette. He complied by dropping it into a cup of water, then witnesses said he poured the water all over their computers.
A call report said the man was also shoving, punching and pulling the hair of an American Airlines customer service agent. Witnesses said several people spent at least 15 minutes trying to calm the man down.
The situation escalated, they said, once police arrived.
