Airport chase: an officer harshly detained a woman, slamming her face to the ground, but he is praised online
An unidentified woman's prank at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport resulted in trouble. She began running away from officers onto the runway, leading to a chase and a violent arrest.
A video posted on the social media platform X captured this bizarre incident, sparking a debate about the officer's use of force.
Details about what prompted the woman's stunt remain unclear, but the footage shows her talking to law enforcement before fleeing.
The chase started near a parked Spirit Airlines plane. The woman, looking back, ran in an unknown direction, and the officer pursued her. The video ends with him pushing her, causing her to fall face-first to the ground and remain motionless as she was handcuffed.
Afterward, a car pulled up, and the officer struggled to push the detainee into it.
In the comments, most people praised the uniformed officer for his clear and well-coordinated actions but also expressed indignation toward the woman who was running on the runway for unknown reasons.
