A man was arrested at the Santiago airport Tuesday after causing significant damage to the American Airlines check-in area. The individual, reportedly of Haitian descent, had purchased a ticket to Miami, only to discover upon arrival that the ticket was fraudulent.
Upon learning that he would not be able to travel, the man became enraged and retrieved a hammer from his backpack.
