Sacramento, California: A California-bound Southwest Airlines flight was diverted to Omaha, Nebraska after witnesses said a passenger tried to open a door midflight.

The airline said the Chicago-to-Sacramento plane landed on Eppley Airfield on Sunday to “have an unruly passenger removed” before continuing on to its destination. The flight with five crew members and 134 passengers arrived in Sacramento about two hours behind schedule.

Once on the ground, a doctor onboard told KCRA-TV he and two other passengers tackled the man in the back of the cabin and restrained him until air marshals escorted him off the plane. Scott Porter said the man “was going to do bad things to the plane.”

The airline had no further details about the passenger.

A call to the Omaha Airport Authority wasn’t immediately returned. (AP)
