Micheal Chukwuebuka, Reporting 

A man on board a plane at Boston Logan International Airport that was taxiing for takeoff suddenly opened an exit door and was quickly restrained by other passengers.

The JetBlue passenger, according to Massachusetts State Police spokesperson Tim McGuirk, will face charges and be arraigned.

The passenger’s name, as of the time of filing this report, had not been released.

The door was opened about 7:30 p.m. “suddenly and without warning,” McGuirk said.

The opening of the overwing exit door caused an emergency slide to deploy aboard JetBlue flight 161 from Boston to San Juan, the airline said in a statement.

Some passengers panicked.

“They were like freaking out,” passenger Fred Wynn told our source. “They were like, ‘Stop, stop’!”

Wynn said the passenger was seated behind him and was arguing with his girlfriend over a cellphone, then “the guy got up and ran down the aisle” toward the door.

JetBlue said the flight was eventually swapped to another aircraft and landed in San Juan.
