KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -- Preliminary reports indicate that Alaska Airlines flight 411, which was headed from JFK to LAX, diverted to Kansas City just before 4 p.m. after a disruptive passenger approached or attempted to enter the cockpit.

Alaska Airlines said the passenger was “combative” and “unruly.” They said the passenger threatened crew members and, at one point, threatened the safety of the aircraft.

The passenger was restrained as the 737 was diverted. The plane landed without incident.The passenger was then taken into custody by law enforcement.

The federal authorities have been notified, which is standard. Crew members are being interviewed about the incident.

The flight is scheduled to continue to LAX soon.
