The passenger appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis, said Capt. Karla Rodriguez. “Police responded and during their attempt to detain the suspect, a use of force occurred,” she said.
The man, who was not identified, was arrested on suspicion of assault on a police officer and trespassing on airport property, he said. He was taken to a nearby hospital for a mental health evaluation.
