A woman has been arrested after she allegedly stabbed a taxi driver, Delta employee and police officer inside an Atlanta airport terminal, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport confronted a woman armed with a knife outside the South Terminal's security checkpoint around 4:45 p.m. on Oct. 11, as Front Page Detectives reported.
Officials said the twins were arguing when one of the boys grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the other.
Prior to entering the airport terminal, Milton allegedly stabbed her taxi driver in the chest.
An officer attempted to tase Milton, but the device didn't stop her since she was wearing more than one pair of pants and it didn’t make contact with her skin, according to WAGA-TV.
Atlanta Police Lt. David Cannon then tried to pepper spray Milton, but he slipped on the pepper spray, and Milton was able to allegedly stab him in the leg after he fell, WAGA-TV reported.
