SAN FRANCISCO
(AP) -- A federal air marshal says a man who was arrested after causing
a disturbance on a San Francisco-bound American Airlines flight twice
tried to open the cockpit door, the second time after a crew member told
him that the restroom was to his left.
In a
court affidavit filed on Monday, Paul Howard says Rageh Al-Murisi
(rah-GAY al-moor-EE'-see) then made eye contact with the crew member,
lowered his shoulder and rammed the door. He says the crew member got
between Al-Murisi and the door, but Al-Murisi kept yelling and pushing
forward in an attempt to open it.
The 28-year-old Murisi was subdued and taken into custody after the flight landed safely at San Francisco International Airport.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday on a charge of interfering with flight crew.
