A barefoot woman was denied boarding an American Airlines flight. She jumped at agents over the counter.

Most headline-making airline incidents this year have been about passengers refusing to wear now-required masks on their flights. But on Sunday, a woman was denied boarding for not wearing long-required shoes. Police say they were called to Miami International Airport by American Airlines after Brittney Mohammadi, 23, of California leapt at agents behind the counter in response to being told she could not board a flight barefoot. Mohammadi and her boyfriend Manuel Arteaga, 26, were arrested by Miami-Dade police for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. “On Sunday, September 27, two customers were denied boarding on flight 1061 with service from Miami (MIA) to Los Angeles (LAX) after attempting to board the aircraft without shoes,” a spokesperson for American Airlines said. “After being informed of our policy, the customers became irate and one attempted to strike an American team member at the gate.” Video of the incident circulating on social media shows Mohammadi attempting to jump over the ticket counter, and Arteaga pulling her back. Mohammadi appears to not be wearing a mask. A video from 7 News Miami later shows them being wrestled to the ground by police outside the airport. 7 News Miami interviewed Mohammadi and Arteaga on Tuesday, who said Mohammadi left her shoes at TSA and became upset when she was told she couldn’t board. The couple also told the TV station they were intoxicated. American Airlines dress code states that passengers must “dress appropriately; bare feet or offensive clothing aren’t allowed.”<br/>
