Before his fit of rage, there was a short argument with a staff of the American Airlines who explained to him that he was scammed and the ticket that he was carrying was not a bonafide one.
‘During the course of the afternoon, a Haitian national who had problems boarding a flight he had purchased realized that this flight had never been reserved,’ Western Santiago Prefecture Patrol Lieutenant Manuel Narváez said, according to El Dínamo.
“Local law enforcement responded to the airport lobby area at Santiago de Chile due to a disruptive individual,” American Airlines said in a statement. “We thank our team for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
