Flight to LA diverted to Oklahoma due to unruly passenger

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities say a flight from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles diverted to Oklahoma City after an unruly passenger assaulted a flight attendant. Police say an air marshal who was on board the Delta Air Lines flight had the passenger in custody when the flight landed in Oklahoma Thursday night. The Transportation Security Administration says the air marshal was also assaulted during the response and was injured but didn’t need medical attention. The flight continued on to Los Angeles after the passenger was removed. Delta praised the “quick action and professionalism” of its crew and air marshals in handling the situation.
