Shocking moment pregnant passenger beats up a Spirit Airlines manager who wouldn’t allow her to fly

A six-month-pregnant passenger assaulted a Spirit Airlines employee after being told she could not board after threatening a gate agent.

Video footage shows Que Maria Scott, 29, tackling Jasmine Rhoden at a gate at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Georgia on April 30.

After a short struggle, fellow passengers Scott, who is originally from Philadelphia, was able to pull from Rhoden.

As she was led away from the gate, Scott announced to shocked onlookers that she was pregnant, despite reportedly “smelling of alcohol.”

She was later arrested for simple assault and disorderly conduct and transferred to Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro.

Footage posted to social media shows a violent altercation between the two women, with Scott landing on top of the employee.

While the video posted to Twitter says “They’ve both been added to the no-fly list,” this is incorrect as one of them is Rhoden, who works for the airline.

A statement from Rhoden’s Atlanta Police Department said Scott came to the gate and asked others what was going on with the flight they were about to take.

She then allegedly began threatening one of the gate agents, who got on the phone to call 911.

“Rhoden stated that the passenger has made a statement to other passengers in this regard, that she will be beaten up if she does not get on the plane,” the report said.

“At that point, Ms. Rhoden explained that she would deny her boarding on this flight because of her statement and actions at the gate.”

The gate agent then reportedly closed the gate, and Scott pulled up her sweatpants and attacked Rhoden by “waving her arms and punching Mrs. Rhoden on the left side of her face.”

‘Mrs. Rhoden then stated that Ms. Q. Scott began pulling her hair at the scene and pulled her against a barrier located at the site, causing them to fall to the ground,” the report continued.

‘Mrs. Rhoden stated that the female fell on top of her and it took other passengers to get Mrs. Q. Scott off her.

‘Mrs. Rhoden stated that she clearly smelled alcohol on Ms. Q. Scott, even though Ms. Q. Scott claimed to be pregnant.”

Rhoden said in a police report that fellow passengers should help break up the altercation

Bodycam footage from the Atlanta Police Department shows Rhoden saying “she needs to be arrested.”

In response, Scott shouts “I’m pregnant, I’m pregnant” as she is handcuffed by officers.

Scott then says, “I didn’t hurt anyone. You really just booked me. It’s cool. I will remember your face forever in my head.’

Scott was arrested by the Atlanta Police Airport Division and transported to Clayton County Jail on bail of $1,500 in fees and $350 in fees.

According to the police report, Scott told officers she was pregnant when she was transported to the police station.

“During the event, Ms. Q. told Scott she was six months pregnant,” the report said.

Atlanta Fire and EMS were called to the station to check on Ms. Scott for any pain or discomfort. Mrs. Scott was not transported to hospital.’

Rhoden claims Scott hit her and pulled her hair when she was denied boarding a flight

According to FOS 5, Spirit is one of the few airlines to have employed off-duty officers to guard its gates in the past. That bet has apparently been discontinued.

It is not the first violent incident to occur at an airline airport gate.

Shocking video footage obtained in February exclusively for DailyMail.com shows Spirit Airlines agents beating unruly passengers as they board a flight in Philadelphia.

The vicious fight broke out at Philadelphia International Airport when a 39-year-old mother and her 17-year-old daughter were charged extra fees because their carry-on bags were too large.

Officers spoke to everyone involved, but made no arrests because of the dust.
