A passenger on an American Airlines flight was restrained to his seat with duct tape and zip ties after a midair outburst, forcing the plane to be diverted.

The flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Newark, New Jersey, had to make an unexpected stop in Baltimore late Thursday night due to the unidentified disruptive passenger who witnesses said was putting others at risk.
