Narrative:

Mr X boarded the aircraft not in a good mood. I was told by the #2 flight attendant he sat by himself. His wife sat with her head turned toward the window the entire time. Another couple that they were traveling with sat together. The #2 flight attendant told me they started arguing (mr X and the wife's friend). When the aircraft landed, I heard yelling from the back of the aircraft and 4 chimes to the cockpit. The first officer ran to the back of the aircraft. #2 flight attendant said that the wife's friend hit mr X because he said something very nasty to his wife. Mr X then tried to hit his wife's lady friend. The lady friend's husband then tried to help her and mr X threw him into the galley. This is when the first officer finally made to the back because passenger were deplaning. Security met the airplane and of course they let him go because he is a united states citizen. While he was in the immigration line, he started up again and pushed the immigration officer and they made him situation around but released him. He was never jailed. This happens a lot going into foreign countries. Since there is no punishment leaving the united states the passenger should be denied entry into these foreign countries and be returned to the united states on the next flight. The captain should have the power to deny a passenger entry. The passenger mr X hit into the galley had a bruised arm.
