Man on Delta flight from Atlanta to LA reportedly bit passenger on plane

A passenger was bitten by a man on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles, according to officials.

A male passenger from the Delta flight was restrained on the plane, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The fire department responded to the incident after a call about a psychological emergency on Monday at Los Angeles International Airport.

The passenger who had been bitten “just wanted to be checked” and was not taken to a hospital, according to Lyndsey Lantz, a spokesperson for the fire department.

The man who was restrained was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation, according to Lantz and the Transportation Security Administration. He was not identified by authorities.

In a statement, Delta said it has “zero tolerance for unruly behavior and we will work with law enforcement to that end.”
