So my the video posted to Tik Tok shows *** full blown argument between passengers on board *** frontier Airlines flight. At one point, *** man even throws money at another passenger. *** passenger says that *** couple argued with *** flight attendant over *** seat before being removed. All of this unfolded as the plane bound for Atlanta sat on the tarmac on Monday afternoon in orange vests eventually pulled the couple off and watch what happens next. Other passengers take *** vote on throwing *** third person off the plane who they were arguing with you want removed from the flight. She was eventually removed by *** man who said the airline can’t have fighting at 30,000 ft. We reached out to Mercer County today. They did not respond to *** disturbance and say no charges were filed. We are waiting to hear back from frontier. In recent weeks. We’ve reported on *** number of issues on flights including *** man who threw punches at the crew on *** flight to San Francisco on Monday.

Because where is the police? Well, you’re at Trenton Mercer Airport? Yeah, it was 15 of them at the door.
