A Lufthansa flight from San Francisco to Munich was diverted to Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday morning after police said a woman allegedly attacked another passenger aboard the plane. Troopers were notified of a disturbance around 8 a.m., and the aircraft was met after the unscheduled landing in Boston.
Police said the woman was handcuffed to her seat after reportedly attacking another passenger. It remains unclear whether anyone was injured, and authorities have not released the identities of those involved.
The diversion turned an international flight already in progress into a police matter on the ground at Logan. The incident remains under investigation, and authorities have not said whether any charges have been filed.
The unanswered questions are the ones that matter next: what sparked the disturbance, whether anyone was hurt and whether investigators will pursue charges. For now, the flight is back on the ground, the inquiry is open, and the cause of the onboard confrontation has not been made public.
