Airline Employee Stabbed Co-Worker To Death Over Dispute

A Frontier Airlines worker stabbed a fellow employee Thursday morning while working at the Philadelphia International Airport, according to CBS3.

Authorities believe a 35-year-old man used a box cutter to fatally impale his co-worker, 28, in the torso. The violence reportedly ensued in the break room and because of a dispute — details of which are still not yet known.

The two contractors are in charge of cleaning the planes. The gored individual was transported to a local hospital but eventually died from his injuries. The suspect fled the scene but was ultimately caught by airport police officers.

UPDATE: Victim pronounced dead after being stabbed. Authorities say three men were involved in a fight in a break room. They work for a cleaning company and did contract work for @FlyFrontier https://t.co/p959LusgNj

Authorities say weapon was likely a box cutter from a maintenance area. They don’t have it at this time. All three men were not in terminal. They were on tarmac in separate break room. Many questions how this could happen. https://t.co/0kcPlgmTyB
