A Florida doctor was captured on cellphone video early Thursday throwing a tempter tantrum before being taken into custody inside an airport.
Jeffrey Epstein, 59, was seen in bizarre footage from the Orlando International Airport shouting for an unspecified reason while preparing to board a flight.
He first explains his frustration toward an employee from the American Airlines counter.
‘That lady there had a flippin’ attitude when I asked her if I would make my flight, she said, “maybe not,”‘ he is heard blurting out.
No one around Epstein seems to be interacting with him, – but he continues to rant.
‘The cops are here!,’ he is heard shouting shortly after.
Orlando police then order the man to leave – citing concern for the safety of others in the airport – but Epstein did not comply.
The arrest report said: ‘I noticed white froth around Epstein’s lips and asked him if he was having an issue.’
Epstein becomes even more furious when he hears police talking about his mouth.
‘I can hear you talking about me foaming at the mouth!’ he shouts. ‘Is that going to de-escalate things?’
He proceeds to place his hands up in the air as he tells officers to arrest him or get him a flight.

When officers place him in handcuffs, he seemingly overreacts when he trembles on the ground.
One of the officers takes pepper spray to his eyes when he begins kicking one of them.
‘Don’t beat me up! Oh my God I can’t believe they’re doing this. Oh my God!,’ he goes on to say.
Epstein makes racially-insensitive remarks after, such as: ‘You treat me like a f***ing black person!’
He was briefly booked to a local jail and released on $1,800 bail.

Charges include battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officer with violence and trespassing after warning.
After his release, he told local WESH 2 outside the jail: ‘I was making a point, you know? If you’re going to do this to a white doctor whose 59-years-old and doing nothing, then why should black people trust you?’
According to Epstein’s bio on Peak Annual Wellness Center’s website, he has ‘spent the last seven years working as a medical director and chief physician advisor at some of the largest healthcare systems in the country including Atlantic Health System in New Jersey and BayCare Health System in Tampa, Florida.’
The bios says further that he ‘double boarded in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics and is an active member of the American Association of Physician Leaders (AAPL) and the AMA.’
