Updated: Breaking News: Police Arrest another ‘Disruptive’ Passenger on an Amsterdam to Detroit Flight at Detroit Metro Airport – FBI Issues ‘All Clear”

Here we go again!:

Metro Airport spokesman John Witner said there was a report of suspicious activity on the Delta/Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam Sunday. That is the same flight number as the flight that a Nigerian man was suspected of attempting to blow up over Detroit on Christmas Day.

All 257 passengers and 12 crew have deplaned safely, said Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott. The flight landed safely in Detroit at 12:34 p.m. Sunday.

The flight crew requested that law enforcement meet the aircraft after a passenger on the plane became verbally disruptive, said Elliott.

Fox News is now reporting that a Nigerian man locked himself in the bathroom, flight crew kicked in the door and detained the guy; the man then became irate and ended up having to be restrained. FBI and other agencies are on the scene at Metro Airport.

Update #1: The New York Times is reporting:

DETROIT — The pilots of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit — the same flight involved in Friday’s terrorism attempt — requested emergency assistance Sunday upon landing in Detroit, Scott Wintner, an airport spokesman said. The crew had requested police assistance on the ground because a passenger was “verbally disruptive,” according to a statement from Delta Airlines, which acquired with Northwest last year.

Update #2: Fox News Reports that there is report that this man may have just been sick. I am working on getting confirmation on this. Standby.

Update #3: WDIV is basically reporting the same story as above, working on getting confirmation of the sick passenger.

Update #4: WWJ Radio also reports the same story, via the AP.

Update #5: It just dawned on me, this is the same flight that the person was detained on, on Christmas day.

Update #6: It is now being reported that this might not be a serious incident. But still I am watching everything.

Update #7: It has been confirmed by three different sources to Fox News that this was sick passenger. I see a Lawsuit. 🙄

Update #8: Fox News Reports at 4:00 P.M. that the “All Clear” has just been issued. Seems this was a coincidental incident. Ouch. What a day to get sick on a plane… 😯
