A passenger on a United Airlines flight was detained Thursday at Chicago International Airport after opening the door of an aircraft and walking along the plane’s wing while taxiing in the United States.
“A male subject was aboard a plane approaching the gate when he pulled the emergency exit and exited onto the plane’s wing,” Chicago Police said in a statement.
“The subject then went down the wing and entered the airfield,” the police added.
The incident took place on United Airlines Flight 2478 originating in San Diego, California.
United Airlines said ground crew approached the individual outside the aircraft. When the plane arrived at the gate, all passengers disembarked safely, according to a statement from the airline.
“Officers arrived and took him into custody, criminal charges are pending,” Chicago Police said in a statement.
