American Airlines Flight Diverted Because Of Yet Another Unruly Passenger, This drunk passenger's flight turned in to a hungover layover.
An intoxicated man who was pointing his finger at flight attendants like a gun caused an American Airlines flight to be diverted Tuesday, according to reports.
Pilots grounded Flight 2232 from San Jose, Calif., to Dallas in Phoenix at 1:38 p.m. because of an “unruly” passenger, an American Airlines spokeswoman told the Daily News.
Police removed the unidentified passenger from the MD-80 plane at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The remaining 95 passengers and five crew members continued on to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, landing about 90 minutes behind schedule.The passenger had been pointing his fingers, standing up every five minutes to go to the bathroom and hollering belligerently during the flight, witnesses told KNTV. They said he appeared to be drunk when he boarded and tried to order drinks before the plane took off.
San Jose man Robert Schulz told the TV station he helped flight crew members subdue the man. A photo he provided shows a scowling young man with his hands tied up and the rope attached to one of the plane’s walls.
