The United Airlines passenger filmed brawling with an employee at Newark Airport in a viral video is a 27-year-old football player from Georgia who has now been charged with assault.

DailyMail.com can reveal Brendan Langley, 27, was arrested on Thursday May 19 at 11.03am after trading blows with the unnamed United Airlines worker.

Videos show the pair sparring, but almost all of the footage shows the airline worker throwing the first punch.

But Langley, who once played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos but most recently played for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada, was the only one arrested.

He was booked on a single count of simple assault on Thursday. The United Airlines worker was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries but he was not arrested.

It is believed that the fight began when Langley used a wheelchair to transport his luggage, instead of a paid-for luggage cart which cost $5.
