Lufthansa Passenger Arrested For Tampering With Door During Flight

Passengers on a Lufthansa flight bound for Belgrade saw a new kind of in-flight drama when they noticed a man tampering with the emergency exit door.

Lufthansa crew members and other passengers restrained the man after others noticed what he was doing. The incident occurred one hour into a flight between Frankfurt and Belgrade.

The man is a Jordanian national with a U.S. passport.

The airline said that the passengers were not in danger during the flight. The emergency door cannot open while the plane is in the air.

After other passengers restrained him, the man was calm for the duration for the flight.

When the flight landed in Belgrade, the passenger was taken into custody by police in the Serbian capital. The police have not yet commented on the matter.
