Unruly passenger attempted to open exit doors mid-flight, forced plane to divert to Seattle

An unruly passenger forced an All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston to divert to Seattle on Saturday, officials said.

A man attempted to open the plane's exit doors during the flight, Port of Seattle Police Department spokesperson Chris Guizlo told CBS News. Fellow passengers and flight crew members restrained the individual before landing.

The plane landed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at around 4:19 a.m. local time, according to Guizlo.
