Tyler Bell-Morena said the passenger attempted to open the door, which can't be done at cruising altitude. He was restrained by Air Canada employees during the flight as part of their safety protocols and met with officers once the plane landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport shortly after 3 p.m., he added. "The passenger, an elderly male, had been in a state of crisis and confusion and it does not appear that his actions were intentional," he said.
