Man tries to open door during Alaska Airlines flight to Portland, Washington

Suspect in incident on Alaska Airlines flight to Portland



 PORTLAND, Wash. —   A man tried to open a door on an Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage to Portland, Alaska Airlines said.

 The incident happened on flight 132 Monday morning.

 According to Alaska Airlines spokesperson Bobbie Egan, 10 minutes prior to the landing, a passenger seated in row 17 tried to open the door of the plane.

 Egan said the man was restrained by the crew and passengers.

 Egan said the cabin was never depressurized and the seal on the door was not broken.  The door remained locked while the flight was in the air.

 Once the man was back in his seat,  he remained there calmly until the plane, which was carrying 137 passengers, landed in Portland at 5:23 a.m., Egan said.

 The man is in police custody.
