Airport officials quoted by local media said the incident had occurred on Delta Airlines Flight #386, and the male passenger was arrested. The plane was slated to continue to Nashville after the incident. The FBI tweeted that it was responding to the attempted incursion but said there was “no threat to the public at this time.”
