A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to return to Seattle Thursday night after an unruly passenger who attempted to open an emergency exit allegedly attacked a flight attendant. Delta Flight 129 was flying over Canadian airspace 45 minutes into its journey toward Beijing when the incident happened in the plane’s first-class cabin. A witness told KIRO 7 News a man pacing the aisles said he needed air and attempted to open an emergency exit. A flight attendant was allegedly punched while stopping him, prompting other travelers to get involved. “They broke two bottles of wine on his head,” said the witness, who did not wish to be identified.
