Shocking moment man charges through Phoenix Sky Harbor airport security

This is the shocking moment a man launched a vicious attack on airport security staff at Phoenix Sky Harbor International on Tuesday morning.

Tyrese Garner, 19, rushed through a security checkpoint and threw a flurry of punches at the airport staff who tried to tackle him to the floor, before he was arrested and slapped with multiple criminal charges. 

Surveillance footage shows the man running through a metal detector, knocking down one TSA agent and taking a swing at another, who ducks and tries to wrestle him to the floor.

But the man charges through, punching another agent at least twice, until several agents tackle him to the ground. 

One agent was hospitalized in the chaos while four others went to an urgent care clinic, the TSA later said. All the agents have since been released. 

The TSA added that the motivation for the attack remains unclear and described it as an ‘unprovoked and brazen physical attack.’
