MMA Fighter Rescues Flight by Subduing Door-Tempting Passenger

A San Juan–to–Chicago flight was diverted to Miami after a disruptive 51-year-old passenger, Juan Reyes, allegedly choked a flight attendant and tried to open the door and access the cockpit. Former MMA fighter Josh Longood restrained Reyes mid-air, helping crew and passengers subdued him with restraints as the plane landed. The FBI is investigating, and Reyes has been charged with battery; the plane reportedly continued to Chicago a few hours later, with officials noting doors cannot be opened mid-flight due to pressurization.
