An elderly American sued the airline United Airlines and its former employee for being injured at the airport. He demanded more than a million dollars in compensation. The incident occurred in the Houston Intercontinental George Bush Airport (Texas) in 2015, but only now the story was revealed. Ronald Tigner asked a United Airlines employee for a new boarding pass in return for the spoiled.
However, Alejandro Anastasia denied the 71-year-old man and insulted him. After a brief squabble, a carrier worker knocked Tigner off his feet, as a result, he lost consciousness. The elderly man lay on the floor for several minutes before another passenger asked the representatives of United Airlines to call the doctors.
