Delta Air Lines Flight 129 from Seattle to Beijing turned back within one hour of takeoff Thursday night after a passenger reportedly attacked a flight attendant in the first class cabin. Several passengers helped subdue the alleged attacker until the plane returned to Seattle, Sea-Tac Airport spokesperson Perry Cooper told The Washington Post. “The passenger was restrained onboard and was removed from the flight by law enforcement without further incident when the aircraft arrived back in Seattle,” a Delta spokeswoman said in a statement to The Post. The flight attendant and another passenger who helped to restrain the alleged attacker were injured during the incident, the spokeswoman said. The unruly passenger was taken into custody by the Port of Seattle Police Department.
