A flight en route from Los Angeles to Atlanta was diverted to Oklahoma for an emergency landing when a passenger attacked two flight attendants and threatened to bring down the plane, authorities said.
In a statement, Delta thanked passengers and crew members who “assisted in detaining an unruly passenger” Friday night. It added that “the aircraft landed without incident and the passenger was removed by law enforcement.”
Delta Flight 1730 was well on its way from Los Angeles to Atlanta when a frightening commotion broke out in the front of the plane, according to the airline, witnesses and media reports.
