Footage of Olympic gold medallist Sha’Carri Richardson attacking her boyfriend at an airport in the United States has been released.
A security video from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport shows Richardson angrily confronting her partner, the American sprinter Christian Coleman, and shoving him into a wall.
Coleman was seen attempting to diffuse the situation by walking away from Richardson throughout the video, however, he was pushed and shoved on multiple occasions.
Richardson, who won a silver mdeal in the 100m and gold in the 4x100m relay at the Olympics in Paris last year, was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault.
According to the Port of Seattle Police, Richardson told officers that the argument began because Coleman had taken her headphones.
‘Richardson advised she did not assault him in any way and the dispute was only a verbal argument,’ police documents said.


Coleman, however, has since insisted that Richardson should not have been arrested and described them both as ‘two dominant personalities’.
‘For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round,’ said Coleman, who declined to press charges against Richardson.
‘I don’t feel like she should have been arrested.
‘I mean people have discussions and emotions and stuff like that. She has things that she needs to work on for herself of course. So do I, so do you, so does everybody.


‘But I’m the type of guy who’s in the business of extending grace, and mercy and love.
‘She’s a human being and a great person, and I feel like you know, we’ve been able to be really good team-mates all year. We’re just two dominant personalities. To me, she’s the best female athlete in the world.
‘She’s just had a lot of things going on, lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can’t understand, but nobody can.
‘Because she’s one-of-one. I know it’s been a tough journey for her this year.
‘But she’s gonna bounce back because she’s the best female athlete in the world. I see it every day. She’s gonna be just fine. She gonna be good, and I’m gonna be good too.’
