A Delta flight travelling from Los Angeles (LAX/KLAX) to Nashville (BNA/KBNA) was forced to divert to Albuquerque (ABQ/KABQ) on Friday afternoon after a passenger attempted to break into the cockpit. According to officials, the male passenger attempted to breach the cockpit of Delta Airlines Flight #386 but was unsuccessful. The media report that multiple people, including members of the crew and passengers, tried to restrain the man.
A passenger on the flight said the man "seemingly unprovoked, just got up and rushed the pilot's cabin and began banging on the doors."
A female passengers on the plane said the man was quickly taken down by another passenger, who was then assisted by the cabin crew. She said he was held to the ground for about 20 minutes until the pilots could land the plane at the Albuquerque International Airport.
