May 30 (UPI) -- A United Airlines flight traveling from Chicago to Minneapolis had to be diverted after an unruly passenger attempted to breach the cockpit.
The Minnesota-bound flight instead safely landed at Dane County Regional Airport near Madison, Wisc., "to address a security concern with an unruly passenger," the airline told The Guardian and NBC News.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police responded to reports about the passenger, who was detained at the airport after the flight landed.
"I do not believe they ever cuffed him, but they were able to finally get control of him after multiple attempts to try to breach the cockpit," a crew member told air traffic controllers.
