WATCH: Pregnant passenger punches on with Spirit Airlines worker

A video has captured a fight between a pregnant passenger and a Spirit Airlines employee at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia.

Que Maria Scott, a 29-year-old woman from Philadelphia who is six months pregnant, was filmed tackling a Spirit Airlines employee Jasmine Rhoden at a boarding gate.

Rhoden said that Scott “clearly smelling like alcohol” in the police report that she later gave. The pregnant puncher can be seen in the video below in a grey sweatshirt where it appears she slams Rhoden into a barrier.

The video showed fellow passengers watching on as others yell at the women to stop.

The pummel began after a fierce exchange between the two when Scott went up to the gate to ask what was going on with her upcoming flight, according to Rhoden’s witness statement to the Atlanta Police Department.

Scott allegedly began to threaten one of the gate agents, who then called 911.

“Rhoden stated that the passenger made a statement to other passengers around that, she will beat a b—h up if she does not get on the plane,” the report said.

“At that moment, Ms. Rhoden explained that she was going to deny her boarding to this flight due to her statement and actions at the gate area.”

This is when Scott started “swinging her arms and hitting Ms. Rhoden on the left side of her face.”

The pregnant puncher started pulling Rhoden’s hair and slammed her into a barrier, causing the two to fall to the ground, according to the report.

“Ms. Rhoden stated that the female fell on top of her and it took four other passengers to get Ms. Q Scott off her.”

When Scott was surrounded by officers, she began yelling, “I’m pregnant, I’m pregnant” before being placed in handcuffs by Atlanta Police officers.

“I didn’t do nothing to nobody,” Scott subsequently began shouting.

“You really just got me booked. It’s cool. I’m going to remember your face in my head forever.”

Scott was arrested and booked in to jail on a US$1,500 bond.
