A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta was diverted to Oklahoma City Friday night due to an unruly passenger who was subdued following an urgent request for help on the plane's public address system.

On Saturday, a Delta Air Lines spokesperson confirmed that individual was an off-duty flight attendant. Video shows passengers apparently holding the person down in the aisle.

Some passengers speculated that the man attempted to open a plane door. However, a Delta spokesperson told NBCLA that was not the case.

"The passenger was not trying to open the door mid-flight, rather the incident/altercation occurred in the front of the plane near that area."
