Moment passenger kicks airline staffer, smashes computer
The outraged traveller had an epic meltdown at Orlando International Airport last Thursday after she failed to make the standby list for three consecutive flights, according to witness Peyton Turberville, who filmed the ordeal.
'She tried to get in through the gate after it closed and they asked her to stop,' Peyton told Storyful.
Video shows the unidentified woman approach the desk repeatedly screaming 'Are you kidding me?' at a desk agent in a pink shirt, who calmly asks her to back away.
She then kicks the man in pink.
'Ooh that's assault,' Peyton can be heard saying from behind the camera.
She walks away, incoherently rambling before she walks back towards the desk and bashes the computer, causing bystanders to gasp.
'Two flights wasted!' she yells. 'Three planes! After 45 minutes!'
The man in the pink shirt walks away from the woman, who tries to rally witnesses to 'call the police'.
She then walks back over to the desk, winds up and throws a punch at the computer monitor, knocking it to the ground.
The woman follows the desk agent around as he tries to avoid her before she gives up and walks away.
It's not clear if the woman was arrested.

Nip/Tuck star Dylan Walsh in terrifying car crash weeks after co-star Julian McMahon's death
Nip/Tuck star Dylan Walsh and his family were involved in a terrifying car crash over the weekend, just weeks after the death of his co-star Julian McMahon. The actor, 61, was inside a 2022 Ford Explorer with four other passengers when the car smashed into two utility poles in New Jersey on Sunday, reports TMZ. The car was original driving northbound around 5pm before it abruptly swerved into the southbound lane and hit the first pole, Rumson Police Department told the outlet. The car kept moving and eventually slammed into another utility pole. Two of the five passengers in the vehicle were later transported to Riverview Medical Centre after complaining of pain. At this time, it remains unclear as to who the two patients were and who was driving the SUV. According to local outlet Rumson Patch, eight residents lost power as a result of the crash. Though, power was later restored to the area. The utility poles have also since been replaced by Jersey Central Power & Light and the road has reopened. Photos of the accident obtained by TMZ showed the collision caused significant damage to the front of the car and both airbags were deployed in the front seats. The trunk of the car also showed a major dent. A rep for Walsh confirmed the accident involving the actor and his family and provided an update on their health in a statement to Page Six. 'Thankfully, everyone is safe and has since returned home. The family is deeply grateful for the swift response of the Rumson Police, Fire Department, and EMS, as well as the staff at Riverview Medical Center for their care,' the statement reads. 'They would also like to extend a special thank you to the management and staff of The River Point Inn for their support in the immediate aftermath.' Walsh's accident comes over a month after his Nip/Tuck co-star Julian McMahon died following a private battle with cancer. He was 56. At the time, Julian's wife, Kelly, confirmed his death in a statement saying that he passed 'peacefully' in Clearwater, Florida. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible,' Kelly shared.

American Pie star Seann William Scott's staggering six-figure monthly income revealed
Seann William Scott's staggering six-figure monthly income has been revealed after his divorce from Olivia Korenberg. On Monday, the American Pie actor submitted an income and expense declaration in court detailing that he takes home about $US110,000 per month ($170,000) as he continues his custody and child support battle over the exes' 5-year-old daughter, Frankie. Scott said he earns about $US45,000 ($69,000) in royalty payments and $US31,000 ($48,000) in dividends/interest payments per month and has $US158,000 ($250,000) in cash and checking/savings accounts. Additionally, the Lethal Weapon star also has $US12,285,322 ($19 million) in stocks and bonds, $US18,781,328 ($29 million) in real property, $US85,000 ($133,000) in cars and furniture worth $US171,000 ($265,000). Scott, 48, also owns jewellery worth $US650 ($1000) and artwork valued at $US93,000 ($144,000). The Role Models actor spends nearly $US60,000 ($93,000) per month on bills, including $US15,333 ($23,000) in property taxes and nearly $US8,000 ($12,000) in child care payments. Scott also said in the docs that he has paid his legal team more than $US500,000 ($777,000) to handle his divorce. Us Weekly was first to report the news. In February 2024, Scott filed for divorce from Korenberg, 35, after four years of marriage. According to the filing obtained by Page Six at the time, the actor cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split. Scott asked that he and the interior designer divide their assets according to their prenuptial agreement. He also asked for the earnings he made before, during and after marriage to belong solely to him. When the exes settled their divorce in May 2024, they reportedly terminated their rights to spousal support. In June, Korenberg claimed she was 'blindsided' when her ex-husband put their home for sale allegedly because of her 'new romantic relationship.' Scott denied the accusation, claiming the sale was a financial decision and not retaliatory. Scott and Korenberg had kept their relationship very private before tying the knot in September 2019. The exes welcomed daughter Frankie in June 2020.

NSW police officer denies using excessive force against teenagers during arrest
A New South Wales police officer accused of assaulting two teenagers during their arrest has told a court he used an approved police technique he called a "distraction strike". Prosecutors told the Batemans Bay local court on Thursday that Senior Constable Brett David Lindsay used excessive force while arresting two teenage boys, aged 14 and 17, in October 2023. Prosecutor Brendon Donnelly alleged the excessive force included punching the 17-year-old near the head and grabbing the younger boy by his shoulders and throwing him onto a concrete floor. Senior Constable Lindsay previously pleaded not guilty to the charges. The court heard Senior Constable Lindsay and his partner were investigating claims of a potential home invasion in Batemans Bay, which led them to a block of units where a number of teenagers were. Senior Constable Lindsay, who has been suspended on pay awaiting the trial, told the court the person who had called triple-0 about the potential home invasion had named some of the teenagers in the flat as the offenders. During the arrest, the court heard a scuffle broke out between Senior Constable Lindsay and the 17-year-old, and the officer ended up on top of the teenager. Senior Constable Lindsay told the court the teenager tensed up, and he feared the boy was in reach of his gun and handcuffs, so he struck him to what he thought was his collarbone. On the video, the older teenager can be heard repeatedly calling the officer a "white gronk" and a "f***ing dog". Giving evidence, the 17-year-old said, "I didn't think a copper would hit me at that age." The other assault charges relate to the way Senior Constable Lindsay forced the two boys to the ground during the arrest. The court heard the police officer forced the 17-year-old to the ground with his knee coming into contact with the teenager's stomach. Senior Constable Lindsay testified the teen then clenched his fist. On the body-worn video, the police officer can be heard saying to the teen: "Do you want a f***ing punch mate, you'll get one." The 14-year-old boy, now aged 16, said he also refused to sit down. "We didn't sit down because we didn't know what we were getting arrested for," he told the court. Mr Donnelly alleged Senior Constable Lindsay used an unnecessary amount of force by throwing the younger boy on a concrete floor, which the officer refuted, saying it was a safety issue having him on his feet. He later told his defence lawyer both the strike and use of force putting the teenagers to the ground were techniques taught at the Goulburn Police Academy. Mr Donnelly questioned Senior Constable Lindsay about why the use of force was not mentioned in his police report. "Were you trying to conceal those events?" he asked. "No," the officer replied. "I get it was a use of force, but it was quite a trivial use of force." The hearing is expected to conclude on Friday.
