One-armed boxer attacks cops at LaGuardia airport

A one armed professional boxer from Queens lost it at LaGuardia airport and assaulted three cops, punching one of them in the jaw Friday morning, according to a Port Authority Police Department spokesman.

Michael Constantino was at terminal C when he started shouting as he waited to board his West Jet flight to Toronto around 8:30 a.m., according to PA cops.

Someone at the terminal called the cops and that's when things got violent, reported the N.Y. Post.



The 35-year-old Constantino punched one of the cops in the jaw, then bit another cop on the right hand and a third officer suffered a back injury trying to restrain the boxer.

When PAPD responded and decided he should undergo an EMS evaluation, Constantino started spitting and yelling at the officers.

Constantino was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital for an evaluation.

He has been charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, PA cops said.



Constantino made his professional boxing debut last year in Brooklyn and won a TKO victory against Nathan Ortiz at the Aviator Sports Arena.
