LOS ANGELES, CA — An unruly passenger aboard a Delta Airlines flight out of Los Angeles was arrested Friday after he reportedly attempted to breach the cockpit mid-flight, according to multiple reports. The Delta Air Lines Flight 386, which was headed to Nashville, was diverted to Albuquerque due to the incident. Passengers and crew members intercepted the man and restrained him before he could break into the cockpit. Footage taken on the flight showed passengers and crewmembers dragging the zip-tied and shoeless man to the back of the plane. "Stop this plane!" he said repeatedly. Delta officials said that the plane landed safely around 2:20 p.m. and the passenger was taken into custody, ABC7 reported. The FBI is investigating the incident.
