The man then grabs hold of stanchions which he starts throwing to the ground and threatens staff who are attempting to talk him down from his outburst.

He then picks up another stanchion and swings it around as onlookers brace themselves.

The man then goes to the other side of the lobby to kick down a wet floor sign before returning to his original spot.

In an attempt to punch the man he was threatening earlier, he loses his balance and proceeds to fall to the ground.

It was at this point that authorities finally arrive on the scene to arrest the man who was later identified as a veteran.

Viewers initially assumed that his lack of mask was the reason for the outburst but it was later revealed that he had an earlier altercation with his girlfriend and that he was turned away from his gate for arriving intoxicated.

It was presumed that he had been going through a mental crisis and was wheeled away on a medical stretcher.

While people understood that he was a veteran, they were unwilling to excuse this sort of behaviour.
