An American Airlines Flight from Los Angeles to Miami made an unscheduled emergency stop in Phoenix, Arizona.

A 21-year-old Hispanic male started behaving erratically during the flight, according to Sgt. Steve Martos, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.

Two guys and a girl held the guy down until the aircraft got on the ground.

After landing in Phoenix, police officers boarded the plane and removed the unidentified man. The passenger was arrested and taken to an area hospital where he received medical attention.
