“Evidence suggests the stabbing was solely the result of the dispute between the two men and that the safety of the public and other employees was not threatened,” police spokesman David Procopio confirmed in a statement.
According to Procopio, Smith was arraigned on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon at East Boston District Court.
No information on bail was released.
An American Airlines spokesperson said: “We are aware of an incident that occurred at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) involving two American Airlines team members and are working closely with law enforcement to assist in their investigation.”
