13-year-old boy held up on flight from Maui to Los Angeles – CBS Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – An American Airlines flight from Maui to Los Angeles was diverted to Honolulu after a 13-year-old boy became disruptive.

Witnesses said the boy attempted to kick out the window next to his seat and became physical with his own mother around an hour after the robbery began. The video shows other passengers helping to restrain the teenage passenger.

American Airlines says flexible cuffs were used to restrain the boy and no duct tape was used.

The plane was diverted to Honolulu, where passengers were placed on other flights or received hotel rooms. No arrests were made and no one was injured.
