A SkyWest Airlines passenger tried to open an emergency door while the plane was in the air, CNN reports.
The incident occurred on Thursday, July 17, on a plane flying from Omaha to Detroit, USA. The flight attendant tried to stop the hooligan, but he attacked her. As a result, the pilots had to make an emergency landing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The man was taken out of the cabin with his hands tied behind his back.
“SkyWest does not tolerate unruly behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew is our top priority“, the carrier said in a statement.
