Arrest made after incident on plane
A passenger was apprehended Thursday morning at Philadelphia International Airport after causing a disturbance aboard a plane en route from Orlando, Florida, authorities said.
The man allegedly told an attendant that he wanted to talk to the pilot while he was riding an American Airlines flight, police said. He was escorted back to his seat, where he sat with a passenger and airline employee until landing.
In a statement, American Airlines said he was displaying “erratic behavior” and that crew members took precautions and monitored the passenger.
No one was injured, and the plane landed without incident.
Initially, police said the man had been trying to break into the cockpit, a statement that was later corrected.
He is not expected to face charges, according to authorities.
Investigators looking for SUV
Detectives are searching for a newer-model white Cadillac SR-style SUV after a hit-and-run crash left a woman dead Saturday in South Philadelphia.

Police did not provide Osano’s age but said she lived a block away from the scene of the crash.
