Law enforcement officials say the argument escalated when one of the women, 20-year-old Makyan Mercer, flung a plastic sign holder at the Frontier Airlines employee, which left her with cuts across her face.
When officers took Mercer into custody, a second woman, identified as 21-year-old Janaeah Negash, then attempted to intervene with the arrest. After getting in between the officers and screaming out, “Don’t touch her!,” she herself, was then arrested and charged with resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct.

Meanwhile, Frontier Airlines has since released a statement: “We are providing our full support to the injured team member and are appalled by the conduct of the two customers who were ultimately arrested. Both will be permanently banned from flying with us in the future.”
