United Airlines confirmed the passenger is banned from all flights pending an investigation.
An passenger on a plane to Boston allegedly tried to crank open an emergency door and stab a flight attendant with a metal spoon before he was tackled by fellow travelers, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The wild scene unfolded after Torres, of Leominster, Mass., allegedly tried to open one of the plane’ emergency doors earlier on the flight.Getty Images/iStockphoto A fellow flight attendant reported seeing Torres near the door and thought the passenger might’ve tampered with the door, prosecutors said.“The flight attendant then notified the captain that they believed Torres posed a threat to the aircraft and that the captain needed to land the aircraft as soon as possible,” the US Attorney’s Office said.
