BOSTON -- Police have taken a man into custody at Boston Logan International Airport after officials said he tried to open an emergency door on a Delta flight while in mid-flight.
Massachusetts State Police said the disturbance happened on Delta Flight 1102 from Orlando at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers said the plane landed safely in Boston and police are interviewing witnesses.
Officials said another passenger was able to subdue the man. Investigators later said the passenger who subdued the suspect was an off-duty police officer.
The flight crew then called into air traffic controllers and said they were would be able to continue the flight.
The plane is an Airbus 320, and it had 148 passengers and five crewmembers on board, Delta officials said.
Officials said the cabin air pressurization would not allow anyone to open the emergency doors or windows in the exit row.
Airport officials identified the arrested passenger as 43-year-old Robert J. Hershey of Arlington.
Hershey is charged with interfering with a flight crew.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning in East Boston.
