Police met a Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit today after the crew reported a "verbally disruptive" passenger, CNN reports. The flight was on the same route that saw a Nigerian passenger set himself on fire in an attempted terrorist attack Friday. The unruly passenger on today's flight, who was arrested shortly after the plane landed, is also Nigerian, the AP reports.
"The pilot requested emergency assistance upon arrival," said an airport spokesman. The other 255 passengers and the crew deplaned, according to a rep for Delta, Northwest's parent company. The aircraft is still on airport property but was moved far from the terminals, and it has been swarmed by security personnel, who are searching it for evidence.
