A United Airlines flight that was headed to Minneapolis was forced to make an emergency landing in Wisconsin on Friday, May 29, after a man allegedly tried to hijack the plane. The “unruly passenger” was reportedly trying to access the cockpit.
According to Metro, the flight was from Chicago. The UK outlet also released more information about the man, pointing out that he was trying to gain access to the flight deck of the Boeing 737 while allegedly speaking Russian. There is still very little information on the perpetrator, and there is no immediate indication whether he had any religious or political motivations.
