A Delta flight that had departed Houston on Wednesday morning, February 18, was forced to return there after a passenger exhibited unruly behavior, according to local officials.
The flight declared an emergency for arrival and landed safely and the aircraft was met by law enforcement.
Houston police initially said they received a report that a passenger attempted to breach the cockpit. However, Delta Airlines says the customer approached crew and customers, exhibiting “unruly and unlawful behavior, but didn’t attempt to access the flight deck.”
