A witness told NBC: “She shouted for help and the crew came to see what happened. The man stayed very calm during the whole situation.”

The woman was seated in a different area of the plane, but soon the aircraft turned round and made it’s way back to Los Angeles airport.

Airport police told Mashable: “At 10:43 pm, we received a call about a passenger disturbance on the Southwest flight. The pilot diverted back to the gate, but the plane never took off. It was on the taxiway.”

The passenger was detained at the gate where he was questioned by the FBI. According to reports no arrests have yet been made.

The flight then continued the scheduled journey to San Francisco safely with the rest of its passengers.
