A Spirit Airlines employee got into a fight with a traveler at DFW Airport last Thursday.
According to reports, the fight started over a problem with seating on the flight.
A female passenger is seen on video yelling at the Spirit Airlines employee after she realized there was not an available seat for her.

The Spirit Airlines employee has been suspended pending an investigation.
