New York Realtor Banned from Colombia After Airport Meltdown

Emmanuel Hernández, a 42-year-old American man, faces a 10-year ban from Colombia after causing a disturbance at Rafael Núñez International Airport in Cartagena.

He was filmed cursing, punching a glass window, and slamming a computer screen to the ground. Authorities intervened, leading to his arrest.
