Gate D14 at the Miami International Airport seemed to temporarily turn into a UFC octagon Sunday, as several travelers engaged in a massive brawl after they learned their flight did not have enough standby seats for all of them to travel together.

The video, posted on Twitter by Miami director Billy Corben, showed multiple people punching and kicking each other, as bystanders yell for security and beg them to stop.

“Guys, come on! You’re going to f***ing kill him! Stop it!” one bystander is heard shouting.

Another bystander posted additional video of the incident from a different angle.

According to the police report, a total of four people were charged with disorderly conduct/breach of the peace. One of them was arrested and the other three remain at large. The incident description by the officer confirmed that an American Airlines counter agent had advised the four that there were only three standby seats available on a flight to Chicago, offering the option to travel together on a later flight, or have three of them take the earlier flight and one remain behind for the later flight.

“Airport video surveillance revealed [Defendant and Co-Defendants] started the physical fight and were clearly the primary aggressors throughout the fight.” The victims told police that “they had no prior interaction with defendants, do not know them and are not certain why the fight began.”
