An Oklahoma City Police representative said a passenger became combative during the flight and began arguing with another traveler. The man then attacked a flight attendant, prompting an air marshal in the plane to get involved.
After the altercation between the air marshal and the unruly passenger, the man was restrained with plastic handcuffs for the remainder of the journey and eventually turned over to the police once the aircraft landed safely.
