Chaos unfolded at Chicago O’Hare International Airport’s Terminal 3 on December 12, as a brawl involving travelers and an airport employee escalated into a scene reminiscent of a wrestling match.
The altercation, captured on video and widely shared on social media, involved punches, hair-pulling, and the use of “Wet Floor” signs as improvised weapons.

The videos depict the men trading punches and wielding the yellow floor signs, striking each other in the head and body as the commotion echoed through the terminal.

Holding the dreadlocks in his hand, the man in white retreated as two of his adversaries armed with “Wet Floor” signs pursued him.
The scene was recorded from multiple angles by onlookers.
