Plane with rowdy man returns to Polish airport

WARSAW, Poland — An airline spokeswoman says a U.S.-bound Polish plane was forced to return to Warsaw airport shortly after takeoff after a rowdy passenger scuffled with the crew.

LOT airline spokeswoman Marta Marczak said Tuesday that a Polish man flying business class demanded that his son be moved from economy class to business class and scuffled with the crew when his request was refused.

Concerned for the security of other passengers on the Chicago-bound flight, the pilot decided to return to Warsaw airport.

The troublesome passenger was turned over to border guards upon arrival and arrested. The other passengers are to fly to Chicago later Tuesday.
