A passenger was taken to the hospital Friday night after jumping out of a moving plane at Los Angeles Iꦦnternational Airport, authorities said.
United Express flight 5365, operated by SkyWest, was pulling away from a gate shortly after 7 p.m. when the man unsuccessfully tried to breach the cockpit, then managed to open the service door and jumped down the emergency slide onto the tarmac, according to the airp🌃ort and SkyWest.
The 🌠man was taken into custody on the taxiway, treated for injuries that were not life-threate🐼ning and taken to the hospital, authorities said.
The twin-engine Embraer 175, which was headed to Salt Lake City, returned to its gate, the airpoꦺrt said.
It was still there hours later.
Nobody else aboard the plane was injured.
The FBI was investigating.
It was the second disruption at LAX in two days.
On Thursday, a driver plowed through a chain-link fence at a Fe𒆙dEx cargo facility an🦋d went onto the airfield, crossing runways as police chased the car.
Police said 🦩the driver was detained and no injuries were reported. Two runways were briefly closed.
