An American Eagle flight arriving at New York City's LaGuardia Airport on Saturday afternoon was deplaned on the tarmac due to a potential security issue, according to a statement from American Airlines.
The flight, operated as American Airlines flight 4817, was evacuated "in response to reports by passengers of suspicious and erratic behavior by a fellow passenger," according to a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The pilot alerted authorities on the ground of the incident and when the plane landed on a runway, a "runway exit from the airplane was performed to clear passengers from the airliner," according to the Port Authority statement.

President Donald Trump was seeking to send a “strong warning” to Iran on Friday when he suggested in an early morning Truth Social post that the US would forcibly intervene if Tehran shot and killed protesters. But as of now, there have been no major changes to troop levels in the region and no direct action has been taken, officials told CNN.
