A woman was dragged by a car at McCarran International Airport Wednesday morning in a domestic dispute stemming from a missed flight, police said.

Las Vegas police Lt. Damon Young said the woman suffered minor injuries in the 6:19 a.m. incident.

“A domestic dispute occurred this morning at the airport over a missed and or delayed flight,” Young said in a text. “The male half became angry and attempted to drive out of the area while having a dispute with his significant other.”

“The female was dragged a short distance by the vehicle, causing road abrasions to her foot,” Young said.
