A report of a midair meltdown caused a Delta flight from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to return to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Wednesday, about 75 minutes after takeoff.
Delta Flight 2565 left at about 6:20 p.m. only to return at 7:35 p.m. according to airport spokesman Patrick Hogan.
According to reports, the drama began as 35-year-old passenger Blake A. Fleisig’s girlfriend, Anna C. Koosmann, 36, tried to use the bathroom just after takeoff, which is prohibited.
A flight attendant reportedly asked her to sit down, and that’s when the couple allegedly lost it.
The pilot returned to Minneapolis, where police boarded the aircraft and took the two unruly passengers into custody. And as they did, fellow passengers actually began cheering.
Video of the incident shows Fleisig get loose and apparently throw a punch at another passenger on board. Cops then took him down.
"As they were being escorted off the plane, the male passenger was getting yelled at, both of them were by passengers," Patrick Whalen, who shot the video, told Inside Edition. "That is why you see in the video he took a swing at one... He actually punched someone at that point."
The couple was arrested and was charged with disorderly conduct.
