Russian 737 Hyjack?

Being Reported on Fox News at the moment.

Info apparently from a passenger on board that has made contact with someone on the ground.

Actually the problem is much more serious. The passenger gave the note to one of the F/A stating the demand to divert to Vienna Crew landed at Moscow/UUWW - their destination. Shortly after he found himself in good caring hands of special forces
But consider this - he turned out a madman. And he`s got compulsory treatment for 5 (FIVE) years for murdering his own mother. That treatment finished 2 hrs befor the flight... Russian laws are strict unless you break them for real...
