A Canadian man’s layover in Florida escalated into a federal case when he assaulted two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at Miami International Airport, an incident that was captured on video.

Cameron Dylan McDougall, a 28-year-old from Toronto, entered a guilty plea in federal court earlier this month to two charges of attacking, resisting, or obstructing federal officers, as revealed by court documents.

The charges stem from a December 2024 incident that left travelers stunned and security personnel injured.

Authorities reported that McDougall had already passed through the TSA checkpoint when he suddenly, and without any clear reason, hit another traveler at approximately 6:37 a.m., as stated in the court documents sourced by WPLG Local 10.

A security guard who attempted to intervene was also assaulted. Two minutes later, McDougall returned to the screening area and targeted a TSA supervisor, swinging wildly. Though the supervisor dodged the punches, another officer who tried to restrain McDougall was hit in the face at least three times, sustaining minor injuries.

The entire encounter was recorded on airport surveillance and released to the public this week. The footage shows McDougall throwing punches, getting flipped over a screening bin cart and continuing to resist as agents struggled to restrain him.

He was subdued and arrested by officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department.

McDougall pleaded guilty May 19 and is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court May 30. Each federal charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
