Enraged passenger unloads flurry of punches on airport worker, wild video shows
Fight or flight?
A furious airline passenger was captured on wild video unleashing a flurry of punches on an airport worker over an apparent check-in delay dispute.
The video, taken on Nov. 10, shows the enraged passenger thumping the worker from behind in front of the check-in counter at Terminal 1 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Malaysia, according to a report by Viral News.
The staff member can be seen cowering down to fend off the attack and then turns and squares up to the irate passenger, who’s wearing a green colored top and army green pants.

But then the passenger slugs the worker with a vicious left hook, knocking the helpless worker backwards and shocking onlookers.
Security guards then step in to separate the pair and a war of words ensues between the two before they are ushered away from the area, per the report.
KLIA District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Azman Shari’at said in a statement that the fight stemmed from a disagreement.

No arrests have been made as of Nov. 16, The Star reports.

Canada bans more assault firearms, suggests donating guns to Ukraine
Canada on Thursday announced a ban on 324 assault-style firearms in a continued effort for more stringent gun control.
Leaders in Canada also said that they are working with the government of Ukraine to see how the guns can be donated to support the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
«Every bit of assistance we can offer to the Ukrainians is one step toward their victory,» Defense Minister Bill Blair said.
The latest restriction, announced by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, also includes investments in border security in an effort to stop smuggling and trafficking, as well as strengthening firearms controls, and tougher penalties for gun traffickers.

«This means these firearms can no longer be used,» Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said.
The shoring up of gun control laws in Canada came after the May 2020 ban of 1,500 makes and models of firearms. Last month, that number grew to more than 2,000 as new models were identified.
«Firearms designed for the battlefield plainly do not belong in our communities,» Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, said. «Too often, these types of weapons have been used to commit some of the worst atrocities Canada has ever witnessed.»
