A JetBlue flight was forced to make an unscheduled landing after a passenger sexually harassed a woman and was seen snorting a “white substance”, according to flight attendants.
Flight 915 was travelling from New York’s JFK airport to San Francisco on Sunday when it was forced to land in Minneapolis after a passenger began “acting erratically and aggressively toward crewmembers and other customers”.
