A video was released in which a man who was deceived by a fraudulent person and bought a fake ticket smashed the airline's ticketing window with a hammer.

According to the New York Post, a man stormed the American Airlines counter at Nuevo Pudauel Airport in Santiago, Chile, on the afternoon of the 26th (local time).

He began to get angry when an employee told him that he could not board because it was a fake ticket while he was checking in to board an aircraft to Miami, the United States.



Then he took the hammer out of the bag he brought and went inside the counter and began to damage objects such as computer monitors.

The staff were startled and evacuated. He was immediately arrested by the airport police.



The airline estimated that about $20,000 (about 27 million won) of damage occurred.
