The video shared on Twitter depicts a chaotic situation on Terminal 3's lowest floor, where numerous people were involved in violent altercations. The video showed one guy aggressively pouncing on another while a man in a green t-shirt propels himself upon an opponent, striking with the ferocity of a wrestler. In the midst of the chaos, a group of women can be seen on the floor, tugging each other's hair.
One woman is seen using her headphones as a weapon before being knocked to the ground by a male who punches her, prompting the onlookers to yell even louder.
Others are seen holding the woman on the floor, while travel pillows and other goods can be seen spilling around the baggage claim area. The woman on the floor in the centre tries to get to her feet and away from the brawl, with some of her bright red braids left on the ground.
The passengers resorted to violence on the lower level of Terminal 3 somewhere around 11 p.m., according to Chicago police. The suspects arrested at the scene were each charged with one count of misdemeanour violence.
