Clean up in Terminal 3!
A group of travelers and one employee threw punches, grabbed hair and whacked each other with “wet floor” signs in a wild, caught-on-camera brawl reminiscent of a WWE match inside Chicago O’Hare International Airport last week.
Insane video shared on social media of the Dec. 12 melee shows three men — including an employee in a blue shirt — seemingly teaming up against one man in a white t-shirt inside American Airlines Terminal Three.
The men punch each other and use the yellow floor signs as weapons, smacking each other in the head and body as the sound of the plastic slapping echoed through the terminal, the footage shows.
As the three gang up on the man in the white shirt, he knocks one onto the floor and yanks out several dreadlocks off another’s head, according to two videos taken from different angles.
Two of the men armed with the “wet floor” signs follow the man in white as he steps back — still holding the dreads he ripped out in his hands, one clip shows.
The man on his own lifts a metal stanchion behind him and threatens the others — finally dispelling the violent encounter as the others back off, the video shows.
The wild melee happened on the afternoon of Dec. 12, police said. X

It’s unclear what prompted the scuffle and if the employee involved was a staffer for the airport, an airline or a vendor inside the transit hub.
The Chicago Department of Aviation, which runs O’Hare, did not comment on the shenanigans — and instead directed The Post to Chicago police.
