BOSTON — A London to Houston flight landed in Boston after a man allegedly assaulted his wife during travel.
According to CBS Bost, two Massachusetts State Police vehicles pulled up to the gate after the British Airways flight arrived at Logan Airport.
Officials told WBZ-TV a man on the flight was allegedly assaulting his wife on the flight and was then restrained by several people.
“Our customers and crews deserve to enjoy their flights, and not to suffer any form of abuse,” British Airways said in a statement.
“This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated, and the Captain took the decision to divert the aircraft to Boston as a precaution. The matter will now be handled by the police and we hope the flight can continue on its way to Houston as soon as possible.”
