[/caption]A Boeing 767 on a flight from New York to Tel Aviv was diverted to Logan International Airport last night when a 22-year-old man began screaming, running through the aisles, and banging on the cockpit door, a MassPort official said.
The unruly passenger identified as Itay Atmor an Israeli citizen, was forced to the floor by members of the crew and a handful of the 206 passengers aboard. The group used seatbelts to bind his hands and keep him subdued until the plane could be diverted to Boston, said MassPort spokesman Phil Orlandela.
