Moment traveler attacks TSA agents in Florida airport sparking brawl
A Canadian man is facing a potential two-year prison sentence after brawling with Transportation Security Administration agents at Miami International Airport. The fight, which occurred last December, was captured on surveillance video and first obtained recently by Local 10 News. The footage shows Cameron McDougall, 28, attacking TSA agents shortly after he cleared airport security. In the video, McDougall walks into the frame from the left side of the screen and does not appear to be aggressive, but the moment he approaches the TSA security station, he starts throwing punches at agents. A few of his punches miss their mark, and he charges the agent as other TSA agents rush in to help. One of the other agents shoves McDougall over a security cart and pins him to the ground, but McDougall continues throwing punches at the man's face. In another selection of surveillance footage, McDougall can be seen attacking a random man in the airport terminal, swinging wildly on the shocked passerby. An airport security guard was injured trying to break up that fight. A couple of minutes after that confrontation, McDougall walked over to the TSA station to begin his attack there. McDougall was only in Miami because he attacked another passenger on his flight from Panama to his home Toronto. The plane diverted to Miami, and the flight crew — rather than having him arrested — told him if he wanted to get home he'd need to book with another airline. Instead of booking a flight, he started throwing punches. Miami-Dade Police arrested McDougall at the airport. The Canadian has since pleaded guilty to two federal charges for assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers. He's facing a two-year prison sentence, and his hearing is scheduled for May 30. In addition to his federal charges, it appears he is also going to face three battery on a law enforcement officer charges from the state of Florida, as well as one misdemeanor battery charge. His hearing in state court has been scheduled for June 2.

Oh, Canada: Toronto man pleads guilty after wild airport assault on TSA agents in Miami was caught on video
A Canadian man's layover in Florida turned into a federal case after he attacked two Transportation Security Administration officers at Miami International Airport in a chaotic outburst caught on video.

According to reporting from Local 10 News, the midair altercation prompted the pilot to divert the flight to Miami, where McDougall was removed from the plane but not arrested. Instead, he was told he could book another flight back to Canada. McDougall purchased a ticket on Air Canada for the following day. Read On The Fox News App But as he prepared to board that flight at MIA the morning of Dec. 28, he once again lashed out, this time in the airport.

Wild video shows Canadian man attacking TSA agents at Miami airport
Video has emerged of the Toronto man who went on a tear at a Florida airport, attacking officials before police arrived. Cameron Dylan McDougall, 28, can be seen approaching the security screening area at Miami International Airport on Dec. 28, 2024, when the fists started flying in the unprovoked rampage, according to footage obtained by WPLG. The area was packed with travellers due to the holiday season but that didn't stop the Toronto man from trying to serve up some knuckle sandwiches to two TSA agents. McDougall can be seen missing an agent, who avoided the attack as the Canadian ignored orders to step back. The man then honed in on another agent, who defended himself against McDougall's flurry of punches. McDougall then gets pushed by an agent, causing the feisty flier to fall over a screening bin cart behind him and land on his back. An agent grabs at McDougall's legs but his arms are left free as his assault continues. McDougall was only in South Florida due to his actions on a Dec. 27 Copa Airlines flight between Panama and Canada, court documents state, according to the outlet. Authorities said the Toronto man 'physically struck another passenger,' forcing the pilot to divert to Miami. McDougall was removed from the flight ― but not arrested ― and was told he could book a separate flight to Toronto on another airline, the outlet reported. He bought a ticket for an Air Canada flight from Miami to Toronto the next day. McDougall cleared security and then, 'without warning,' randomly hit another passenger, the court documents stated. Prosecutors said he struck an airport security guard who tried to intervene, and then went back to the screening area where he launched the attack on the TSA officials. He was arrested by Miami-Dade Police officers. McDougall pleaded guilty to two federal charges for assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, the outlet reported. United jet makes unscheduled landing in Florida after woman fights with crew member 'COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE': Women brawl with airline staff at Florida airport over delay Stampeders player Brendan Langley allegedly brawls with airport employee Each federal charge brings a maximum of one year in jail. His sentencing hearing is set for May 30. McDougall still faces state charges for felony battery on a law enforcement officer and one misdemeanour battery charge, according to court records. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 2 for those charges.
