A Paris-bound Delta Air Lines flight was diverted on Thursday night after an "unruly passenger” caused a sky-high commotion. In a dramatic outburst, the man allegedly yelled, slapped a flight attendant and vomited, pushing flight crew to land early at Detroit Metropolitan Airport to remove the erratic passenger.

On the evening of June 13, Delta flight 500 departed Indianapolis for the French capital, USA Today reports. Roughly 40 minutes into the trip, passenger Ian Robert James Morin began "yelling and acting erratically,” and the flight crew’s attempts to calm him down proved unsuccessful.

"[He] continued to yell and attempted to hit the flight attendant again. During the altercation, Morin threw up on the aircraft."

Passengers and crew members proceeded to restrain and handcuff Morin. The plane diverted to Detroit, where the 21-year-old Indiana man was taken into custody by law enforcement officials, as per the News.
