Co-worker beaten by airport security screener with expandable police baton for genital teasing

Rolando NegrinAn airport security screener allegedly beat a co-worker with an expandable police baton after months of teasing about his genitals, Police in Florida has said.

The Miami Herald reported on Friday that investigators said Miami International Airport federal security screener Rolando Negrin's genitals were seen by his co-workers during a test of the airport's full-body imaging machines and he then suffered months of joking at the hands of colleagues about the size of his private parts.

Negrin told officers "he could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind" before using a police baton to attack co-worker Hugo Osorno in an employee parking lot Tuesday night, the arrest report said.

Negrin forced Osorno to his knees, forced him to apologize for the teasing and then beat him on the back and arms with the baton, the report further said.

It was also reported that Negrin was arrested and charged with aggravated battery. He was released Wednesday after posting $7,500 bond. (With Inputs from Agencies)
