A Denver man remains behind bars in Travis County after a bizarre weekend attack at Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

Police said 23-year old Derek Chapman was in a security line at ABIA early Saturday morning when he grabbed the woman in front of him and put her in a head lock. The victim pushed him and he let go and tried to leave.

Police said when Chapman was approached, he told them he was quote "the son of God" and he was told to take the devil to hell. Chapman also told police the woman he attacked gave him quote "a bad vibe."

Chapman has been charged with assault.
