美國航空(American Airlines)一架國內線班機因機上乘客鬧事,3日晚間緊急降落巴爾的摩。根據其他乘客拍下的影像,該名坐頭等艙的男子疑似情緒失控,飆髒話罵人,還出手打人、甚至咬人,被乘客合力制伏,並以束帶和膠帶五花大綁,待該班機降落後隨即遭警方逮捕。

美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)4日報導,美國聯邦航空總署(FAA)聲明指出,這架美航編號618號班機通報有乘客滋擾時,正從達拉斯沃斯堡國際機場飛往紐瓦克。根據乘客歐列尼克(Richard Olenick)說法,航程大約過了一半後,坐在他後面兩排的一名男子開始變得有攻擊性,並且罵髒話、使用歧視種族和同性戀字眼。

他說,空服員試圖控制局面,但是該名男子愈來愈激動,並開始動手毆打身旁乘客,還攻擊一名上前制止的女子。眼看情況演變成肢體暴力,另一名乘客、紐澤西州退休員警梅希亞(Juan Mejia)出面介入,歐列尼克和第三名乘客也加入,協助制伏該名男子,然後用空服員提供的束帶綁住他的雙手,男子試圖反抗,咬傷梅希亞,3人因此再以膠帶限制他的行動,但是未封住嘴巴,以免影響呼吸。

歐列尼克說,該名男子被束帶和膠帶束縛著,仍一直用力推、設法起身,他就直接坐在男子腿上達15分鐘,直到飛機降落。

班機降落巴爾的摩後,警方根據州法逮捕該名男子,班機隨後繼續飛往紐瓦克。官方未公布這名男子身分,但是根據美國廣播公司新聞網(ABC News)報導,這名男子為67歲、來自亞利桑納州的隆汀(Arthur Lundeen)。

美國航空聲明表示,乘客和機組員安全是優先要務,該公司不容忍暴力;聲明感謝機組員的專業和乘客的理解。
