On April 22nd American Airlines Group (AAL) apologized to a passenger, following a video, featuring an on-board clash over a baby stroller. As a result, the flight attendant, who was involved in the incident, has been suspended.

American Airlines shares closed lower on Friday, while also marking their third loss in the past twelve trading sessions. The stock edged down 0.15% ($0.07) to $45.15, after touching an intraday high at $45.50, or a price level not seen since March 6th ($46.68). In the week ended on April 23rd the shares of the transportation company added 4.15% to their market value compared to a week ago, which marked a second consecutive period of gains and also the best performance since the week ended on February 12th. The stock has pared its advance to 6.74% so far during the current month, following an 8.76% slump in March. The latter has been the largest monthly drop since June 2016. For the entire past year, the shares of the NASDAQ-listed carrier added 10.25%.

The video, taken by another passenger on the flight from San Francisco to Dallas, was first posted on Facebook on April 21st. It features a woman in tears holding a young child and a man getting off his seat and approaching a male flight attendant.

In his Facebook post, Surain Adyanthaya said the crew member “violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby … hitting her and just missing the baby. Then he tried to fight a passenger who stood up for her”.

“You do that to me and Ill knock you flat”, the male passenger warned the flight attendant.

“Hit me, come on, hit me. Bring it on!”, the crew member responded. “You don’t know what the story is!”

At the end of the video the unidentified man went back to his seat.

“We are deeply sorry for the pain we have caused this passenger and her family and to any other customers affected by the incident”, the transportation company said in a Saturday-released statement, cited by Reuters.
