Unruly Passengers Removed From Plane At Oakland Airport

OAKLAND, CA — Alameda County Sheriff's Deputies boarded an Aeromexico plane at Oakland International Airport Thursday afternoon after a few passengers became unruly. Two passengers were detained and a third person needed medical treatment for breathing difficulties.

Thursday evening, the Sheriff's Office said on social media that the pair "have been released after speaking with authorities."

The person needing medical help was transported to a hospital by ambulance.

The flight started in Guadalajara and was bound for San Francisco International Airport but was diverted to OAK because of foggy conditions at SFO. Once in Oakland, it sat on a tarmac for several hours, and the passengers were reportedly not given food or water.

After the unruly passengers were removed, the plane was finally assigned to a gate. The plane pulled up to the gate around 3:30 p.m., 5 hours after it was supposed to land in San Francisco.

Everyone was allowed to deplane to go through customs. They were also given food and beverages.
