BOSTON, Mass. — An American Airlines employee is under arrest after stabbing a coworker following a physical altercation this morning at Logan Airport.
Shortly before 1:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police responded to a report of an assault on the ramp of Terminal B. Kenric Smith, a 34-year-old Leominster man, had gotten into a fight with a fellow American Airlines employee and stabbed him with a Leatherman-brand multi-use tool.
The victim, a 38-year-old Lynn man, was transported to Mass General with non-life threatening injuries. State Police say the safety of the public and other employees was not threatened during the fight.
Officers located Smith on the second level of Terminal B shortly after and placed him under arrest for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Smith was arraigned today at East Boston District Court.
In a statement, American Airlines says they “are aware of an incident that occurred this morning at Boston Logan International Airport involving two American Airlines team members and are working closely with law enforcement to assist in their investigation.”
