A flight from New York to Paris was diverted to Boston tonight after an unruly man struck a flight attendant, state police and airport officials said.
American Airlines Flight 44, which was heading from JFK Airport to Charles DeGaulle Airport with 136 people on board, reported the incident at 8:10 p.m.
Lieutenant Eric Anderson, spokesman for the State Police, said that when the flight landed in Boston, the suspect, French national Ansoumane Conde, was taken into custody.
No information was immediately available on the details of the incident or what charges would be filed, Anderson said. The incident is under investigation.
