An out-of-control passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight to Newark was arrested Monday evening for displaying “erratic behavior,” the airline said.
The unidentified flyer caused a commotion on Flight 864 from Fort Lauderdale — which landed an hour late, at 12:26 a.m. Tuesday.

It’s unclear exactly what he did, but some passengers tweeted that a man on their flight arriving in Newark tried to exit the aircraft and attacked a stewardess.
“My recap home… guy tried departing the plane, guy attacks Stewardess, guy gets zip-tied, swarmed by police and arrested… OH MY PLANE WAS DELAYED,” tweeted @drychickenthigh.
The man’s behavior prompted the crew to call local law enforcement, who met the plane and cuffed the unruly passenger.
