Violent confrontation between passengers caught on airport video

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- A violent confrontation in the Salt Lake City International Airport between two passengers on the same flight from Denver was captured on surveillance video.

CBS Denver reports that the older man said a man with a skateboard was using foul language, so he asked him to stop. After they landed, video shows the skateboarder throw a punch. He then gets thrown on the ground.

"In a former life I was a corrections officer about 10 years ago and my training was to never punch back. It was to control the situation and to take the person down," passenger Chad Hurst said.

Police quickly arrived and arrested the man with the skateboard. He has been charged with assault and public intoxication.
