A man is facing multiple battery charges after allegedly attacking Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers during a violent incident at Miami International Airport last December — an attack captured on surveillance video, according to a Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office arrest report.

The incident occurred just before 7 a.m. on Dec. 28, 2024, at 4200 NW 21st Street. Authorities said the confrontation began with an assault on a passenger and escalated into a physical altercation with TSA personnel, leading to the arrest of 28-year-old Cameron Dylan McDougall.

Assault in the Miami International Airport TSA screening area

According to the arrest report, McDougall entered a TSA screening area and attempted to punch an officer, grabbing the officer's arms while continuing to swing.

As McDougall backed away and tripped over a cart, another TSA officer stepped in and grabbed his legs to prevent further attacks, deputies said.

Attack on a TSA officer

The report stated McDougall struck one TSA officer three times in the face with a closed fist as the officer tried to restrain him.

A witness then held McDougall down until law enforcement arrived and took him into custody, the sheriff's office said.

McDougall is facing several charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer or other protected personnel, battery on a person 65 or older, and misdemeanor battery, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.
