New York-Tel Aviv flight returns to Newark after Israeli passenger’s ‘wild’ behavior

A United Airlines flight from New York to Tel Aviv returns to Newark airport after three hours of flight due to inappropriate behavior by an Israeli passenger, Hebrew media reports.

The passenger is taken off the plane and arrested, after the airline says he behaved wildly and berated staff with profanities.

No new slot is found for takeoff, and the rest of the passengers are led off the plane and will take a new flight landing tomorrow.
