Authorities have busted an employee from one of America’s worst government agencies for allegedly attacking a helpless elderly woman last week.
As WPLG reported, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies apprehended 21-year-old Janiyah Wilson-Robinson of Margate following a violent incident where she reportedly assaulted a 79-year-old woman at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Wednesday.
Police say that Wilson-Robinson decided to forcibly push the woman, which caused her to fall to the ground and hit her forehead. The elderly passenger, who was traveling on a JetBlue flight, suffered what police described as “minor bruising.”
WPLG reported the passenger received an ice pack and declined a trip to the hospital.
Below is a local video report on the incident.
According to WPLG, police have not yet determined a motive for the attack.
Wilson-Robinson was charged with aggravated battery on a person 65 or older. She has since been released on a $1,000 bond.
A TSA spokesperson released the following statement in response to the incident, noting Wilson-Robinson has been placed on administrative leave.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is aware of the recent arrest of one of our officers.
TSA holds its employees to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, and we do not tolerate behavior that violates these standards or the public’s trust.
