TMZ Sports obtained airport footage that shows Olympic gold medalist Sha’Carri Richardson pushing and shoving her boyfriend, Olympic sprinter Christian Coleman.

Sha’Carri, 25, is accused of shoving Coleman into a wall, pushing him multiple times, and throwing headphones at him at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on July 27.

As the incident escalated, airport security contacted Port of Seattle police, who swarmed the area. Richardson told them that the incident started when Coleman took her headphones.

“Richardson advised she did not assault him in anyway,” police wrote in the incident report, “and the dispute was only a verbal argument.”

However, police reviewed the surveillance footage, and Richardson was arrested on fourth-degree domestic violence charges. She was released on July 28, after spending 18 hours in jail.

The shocking video shows Richardson verbally and physically abusing the timid sprinter in front of dozens of witnesses.

Coleman, 29, showed all the signs of an abused man. He desperately tried to get away from his abuser, as travelers turned to watch the explosive display.

Coleman defended his girlfriend in an interview after the incident. The mild-mannered sprinter said Richardson has “a lot of emotions” trapped inside her.

“She’s a human being, and a great person,” he said. “She has a lot of things going on, a lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can’t understand, but nobody can. She’s one of one. And I’m one of one too.”

“I don’t feel like she should have been arrested,” Coleman said. “People have emotions and stuff like that, and she has things she gotta work on for herself. So do I, so do you.”

Coleman refused to press charges, but the airport is pressing charges against Richardson for committing violence on airport property.
