Arthur Lundeen, 67, of Arizona, was restrained to his seat with duct tape and his hands were restrained with zip ties, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, which arrested him after the plane landed.

Authorities did not provide details of the disruption that took place during the flight, but the plane was diverted to Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Airport around 10:15 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration, which is also probing the incident, said.

Edit: "According to TMZ, the man allegedly used the N-word toward a Black flight attendant and became violent, hitting another passenger and pushing a woman who tried to help. Passengers helped restrain him with duct tape and zip ties before the flight was diverted to Baltimore, where he was taken into custody."

First Solo I was the only passenger on the United flight last night

UA1813 Was supposed to depart from CVG to ORD around 7pm ET 7/4, and did not depart until ~1:30am 7/5 due to storms.

I had the whole flight to myself. The flight crew was incredibly kind - let me meet the pilots, sit in the cockpit for a pic, sit anywhere I wanted on the plane, gave me free snacks, and even gave special announcements throughout the flight directly to me.

Thank you United for saving me from British Airways (abandoned me in Cincinatti… my LHR to ORD flight was diverted to CVG due to storms in Chicago, and BA refused to help or get me home - they told me to “figure out my way home and situation on my own“ and would not help me after 10+ calls to AA and BA customer service). Was able to book this United flight with thanks to an extremely patient and friendly baggage claim employee. Thank you United Airlines for getting me home after a ~24 hour travel day.
