TSA agent charged in connection with an assault on an elderly woman at Florida airport


A Transportation and Security Administration agent was arrested Wednesday at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida Saturday. 

Citing the Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest report, WPLG reported that Janiyah Wilson-Robinson, 21, of Margate, allegedly assaulted a 79-year-old passenger. 

Wilson-Robinson, according to the report, “forcefully pushed” the elderly woman, who had been flying on JetBlue Airways. She fell and hit her head, which caused “minor bruising.” She declined a trip to the hospital. 

The report doesn’t state what led to the alleged assault. Wilson-Robinson was released on a $1,000 bond for a charge of aggravated battery on a person 65 or older.
