Passenger showing ‘indications of intoxication’ restrained on JetBlue flight
A passenger on a Tuesday JetBlue flight was restrained with help from other passengers after acting “erratically and aggressively toward his travel companion and members of the inflight crew,” according to a statement from the airline. The incident occurred on flight 1926 from London to New York. Flight crew “discovered an opened bottle of liquor the customer had brought on board and indications of intoxication,” JetBlue said. “For everyone’s safety, the customer was restrained with the assistance of other customers who were witnessing this threatening behavior.” Video posted online shows several people struggling to restrain a male passenger. The flight was met by law enforcement at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, the airline said. New York’s Port Authority confirmed it received “a report of a disturbance” onboard the Tuesday flight. “The plane landed safely with no further incident or reported injuries and no arrest was made by Port Authority police,” according to a Port Authority spokesperson.<br/>
