A JetBlue passenger who wouldn’t stop biting people aboard his flight forced his plane to make an emergency landing — so that cops could sink their teeth into him.

The flight from Los Angeles International Airport to JFK in New York was somewhere over Utah when the unidentified deranged man started noshing on the people next to him, whom he apparently knew, and punching strangers, according to a local CBS report.

There was a doctor on board. But when the clinician tried to examine him, the man attacked the doctor too.

Fellow passengers had to help restrain the unruly flier.

“I grabbed his hands behind his back and held him there while the flight attendants put the restraints on him,” a man who asked to be identified as Tom told CBS. “At that point, he started yelling and tried to come towards the flight attendant, behind me, at the time. I really had a hell of a time keeping him in place there.”

The pilot made an unscheduled stop in Las Vegas and the “customer was escorted off the aircraft. Remaining customers resumed their scheduled flight to New York without further incident,” JetBlue said in a statement to CBS.

The man was taken into police custody, the station reported.
