The disturbing incident unfolded June 30 while Dana Pierre, 29, was attempting to check-in for a flight with her two children, an airport spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com on Thursday.
The Orlando Police Department said Pierre was arrested and was charged with aggravated assault.
Bail has been set at $3,000. DailyMail.com reached out to public defender Daniel Cull, who is representing Pierre.
