Colville followed the woman into the parking garage at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at 12:15 p.m. on Friday, March 17, and shoved her down as she loaded her vehicle, police said.

He held her down with his body, repeatedly asking if she “wanted to die today,” KNXV reported.

Investigators used security video and other evidence to identify Colville, who was arrested at his home March 18, the release said. He didn’t give a statement to police.

“We are very concerned about this incident and the welfare of the customer who had this terrible experience,” airport officials told KNXV in a statement.
