EXCLUSIVE: Grounded! United Airlines employee is fired for slapping ex-NFL player Brendan Langley (before getting punched so hard he went flying onto baggage conveyor)
United Airlines has fired the airline worker who was filmed brawling with ex-NFL player Brendan Langley at Newark last Thursday, but the worker remains unidentified and has not been charged over the incident.
DailyMail.com can reveal Brendan Langley, 27, was arrested on Thursday May 19 at 11.03am after trading blows with the unnamed United Airlines worker.
Videos show the pair sparring and all of the footage that has been released so far shows the airline worker throwing the first punch.
But Langley, who once played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos and most recently played for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada, was the only one arrested.
It's unclear why the airline worker was not booked. He was taken to the hospital instead to be treated for a wound to his eye whereas Langley was booked on a single count of simple assault on Thursday.
It is believed that the fight began when Langley used a wheelchair to transport his luggage, instead of a paid-for luggage cart which cost $5.
United Airlines has refused to name the passenger or explain exactly what happened but a spokesman told DailyMail.com the worker has now been fired.
The United worker managed to land one punch but was then pummeled to the ground,
flying behind the check-in desk and onto the carousel.
He staggered back up to his feet, stumbling towards the passenger who yelled incredulously: 'He wants more? He wants more!'
Other airline workers intervened and the passenger was then removed from the airport by police.
United would not state whether the airline worker has been disciplined for his role in the fight.
In a statement, a spokesman said only: 'United Airlines does not tolerate violence of any kind at our airports or on board our planes and we are working with local authorities to further investigate this matter.'
Port Authority would not comment on whether or not charges were expected against the United worker
