An angry passenger who couldn't find his bag after getting off a plane wound up attacking an airline employee who asked to see his checked-luggage ticket.

Port Authority police say the passenger beat the United Airlines employee in front of shocked travellers inside a terminal at LaGuardia Airport in New York.

The employee was repeatedly punched in the face and kicked multiple times once he fell to the floor.

Police say the suspect became irate when the 23-year-old worker asked to see the ticket in the terminal's baggage claim area.

After the attack, the employee was taken to hospital to be treated for a split lip, loose teeth and facial bruises. 

Police say Antonio Sappleton was arrested outside the terminal.

The 22-year-old Yonkers man was charged with assault and harassment.
