From the LA Times:
A 17-year-old boy opened the emergency door of a plane minutes after it landed here Tuesday, slid down the wing and jumped onto the tarmac, authorities said.
The teen, a U.S. citizen, was flying by himself from Panama City, Panama, to San Francisco International and appeared to be in emotional distress during the flight, said San Francisco Airport spokesman Doug Yakel.
An airfield construction crew working nearby confronted the boy and held him until police arrived and arrested him. He was not injured, Yakel said.
Passengers said the teen seemed fidgety and anxious throughout the flight, and acted so quickly no one had a chance to stop him.
