Resisting arrest and assaults on police in Salt Lake City rose 16.33% in 2021, police say.
An investigation determined that the suspect, who wasn’t immediately identified, wasn’t a ticketed passenger and had no business at the airport, authorities said.
A bystander in a blue t-shirt saw the suspect trying to break free and jumped in to help the officer. A second assault on a police officer occurred at the airport less than a month later, police said. A 33-year-old man walked up to two officers on patrol inside the airport and punched one officer in the head, according to authorities. The man immediately surrendered and put his hands up after striking the officer. He was arrested and booked into jail on a charge of assaulting a police officer.
"These incidents show a total disregard for basic dignity and respect. This conduct can put our officers, airline passengers and airport employees at risk, and I hope these types of assaults end now," said Police Chief Mike Brown, adding that he is thankful for the department’s partners at TSA and the airport.
