Miami-Dade police say 30-year-old Mayfrer Serranopaca and 32-year-old Alberto Yanez Suarez were arrested in Concourse H following Monday evening’s fight. The were each charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest, while Serranopaca faces six additional counts. Police say Monday’s confrontation began when Serranopaca hopped onto an airport employee’s cart and refused to move until the worker gave him information about his delayed flight.
