Video footage is going viral of a United Airlines ticket agent getting into a physical altercation with a passenger. The video has been viewed over 10 million times since being posted to social media around 12 hours ago, so odds are that just about everyone is going to be seeing this video shortly.
There are a couple of different clips of what happened. The most viral clip is 45 seconds, and it shows the United employee making the first physical contact. However, there’s a second video that shows the passenger making the first physical contact, so the video seems to start a bit earlier. Regardless of which version you watch, note that this is pretty graphic and bloody, so use your own discretion.
Here's a longer version of the video; however, it doesn't show how the altercation between the passenger and boarding agent started. pic.twitter.com/TmT27S5e2C

Context really is missing here — we don’t know how the dispute started, and we don’t even know at what airport this is. Furthermore, we don’t know who started the fight. The clips we have show the passenger throwing the first punch, though we don’t know what happened before the filming started.
