According to reports, a Nashville-bound flight landed in New Mexico after an unruly passenger attempted to breach the cockpit.
The Delta Airlines flight was diverted from Los Angeles to Albuquerque on Friday where the passenger was taken into police custody.“The passenger was not successful. The plane landed safely and the passenger was removed by police and the FBI. He is in custody now,” Delta said in a statement.

tweeted more than two minutes worth of footage of the hogtied suspect being restrained at the front of the plane.
I was on this flight in the 3rd row – witness to everything. Terrifying but our @Delta flight attendant Christopher Williams acted quickly. So did several passengers around me. Safe but still in Albuquerque. Hope @delta gives Chris every bit of recognition and bonus he deserves. https://t.co/5IuxSZ27NN
Flight attendant Christopher Williams comes to the rescue
In the post, the man can be heard crying out
‘you gotta stop this plane’ at least 25 times with increasing urgency as three men near the cockpit hold him down on the floor.
