Frontier Flight 1752 was being taxied to the gate at Orlando International Airport when Timothy Manley reportedly pushed the head of a service dog named Zariel who was leaning over his seat. The dog’s owner, a deaf man named Matthew Silvay, became enraged that his animal had been “punched” by Manley.

A video posted by Joshua Manley shows Silvay confronting Timothy Manley in the aisle of the plane over the incident, as well as a fight that broke out between both parties in the terminal of the Orlando airport.

Police reports obtained by ABCNews.com revealed Silvay’s 20-month-pregnant fiancée Hazel Ramirez said she was punched in the stomach by Timothy Manley and her two other children were “touched by Timothy.”

Orlando Police Department officers arrived on the scene, but no one was arrested and all parties refused medical treatment. Police spokeswoman Michelle Guido said the case is being handed over to the FBI due to the altercation happening on an airplane.
