A passenger on an American Airlines flight had to be restrained with tape and zip ties during the flight, after hurling racist and homophobic insults and assaulting two people on board. The situation became so serious that the crew needed to resort to physical restraint methods to ensure the safety of the remaining passengers.
The flight in question was traveling between Dallas and Newark, in the United States. Due to the violent and disruptive behavior of the passenger, the aircraft had to be diverted to Baltimore, where it landed safely to deal with the situation.
At the stopover in Baltimore, local authorities proceeded with the arrest of the man, who remained in police custody. Details regarding possible charges or the condition of the passengers who may have been assaulted were not mentioned in the article.
