An allegedly intoxicated man caused a disturbance on an American Airlines flight on Saturday night, forcing the pilot to make the decision to turn back to John F. Kennedy International Airport an hour into its trip to Paris.
Television station WNBC4-New York was the first to report the incident on its 11 p.m. newscast on Saturday night.
American Airlines Flight 44 was carrying nearly 300 passengers and crew for the overseas flight.
Police from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, confirmed to WNBC4 that the flight was in the air for about an hour when the pilots were forced to turn around over Cape Cod.
