The video of the fight, which is being shared widely on social media platforms, shows a physical altercation taking place between many people in the lower level of Terminal 3.

One passenger can be seen pouncing on another, while a man wearing a green t-shirt is seen lunging on the opponent and using a spear to hit him.

A group of women are seen fighting and pulling each other's hair on the floor, like any professional wrestler.

After the women disentangled themselves, one woman became target of a surprise attack from behind by another female, who wielded a mystery weapon.

Passers-by were also caught in the ugly fight as someone yelled "Hey, hey, bro!" while another man punched the head of the fallen woman.

As the passengers fought, bystanders were seen shouting "Where’s security?" and "Stop!" The scuffle ended after Hampton and Hicks were cuffed by the police.
