An American Airlines flight is diverted to Baltimore after a passenger causes a disturbance and is restrained during the trip. Arthur Layne Lundeen is arrested following the incident on Thursday night, according to reports.
Multiple outlets describe the same core event: while traveling from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport, the aircraft diverts to Baltimore after crew report a problematic passenger. Newsweek and Mint both identify the passenger as Arthur Lundeen and say he is taken into custody after the flight is rerouted. Mint further reports that Lundeen hurls racist and anti-LGBTQ slurs, while Newsweek focuses more on his identity and arrest.
The accounts also differ slightly in emphasis, with one outlet highlighting allegations of the slurs and the other centering on who Lundeen is. All sources, however, agree that the disruption leads to a diversion and that authorities arrest the passenger afterward.
