A female passenger on a Boston-bound British Airways flight from London has been restrained after trying to open the exit door.
The woman, said by police to be in her 30s, is currently being questioned by police who have described her as "intoxicated".
Crew members called police while still in the air to report an "unruly" passenger.
Flight 213 landed safely at Boston`s Logan Aiport at 1:30pm (6:30pm GMT) and Massachusetts State Police troopers met the aircraft when it landed, they said.
Police identified the flight number as 213, which left London`s Heathrow airport at 6:57am (11:57am GMT) and said troopers were positioned at the jet bridge to take the passenger into custody.
Incidents of unruly passengers are far from uncommon - most involving alcohol. But given the heightened security alert following Friday`s attacks in Paris, all staff in airports, stations and public centres are on the alert.
