Bystander Tackles Man Who Pushes Through TSA Checkpoint at Atlanta Airport (VIDEO)
Newly released surveillance video shows a bystander tackling a man who pushed his way through a TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The bystander, Mark Thomas, tackled and bodyslammed Fabian Leon after he breached the TSA checkpoint late last year.
“I saw him knock over the first dude and then a TSA agent tried to grab him, and once he was going to get past me, I was just like, okay, I’ll just take over if I can,” Mark Thomas told Fox 5.
Fabian Leon was charged with simple battery and avoiding security measures.

Fox 5 Atlanta reported:
Newly released surveillance video shows how quickly a man accused of breaching the main TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was stopped, just feet from getting through the entire security checkpoint.
The video, obtained by FOX 5 through a public records request, shows what police say is 40-year-old Fabian Leon moving through the airport before attempting to enter the TSA checkpoint on the morning of Oct. 30, around 8:30 a.m.
Police say Leon tried to go through one lane and was stopped, then shifted toward another lane where bystander Mark Thomas was standing.
Thomas says a TSA officer yelled “breach,” prompting him to turn around and react without hesitation.
