A flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Guatemala was diverted to Washington Dulles International Airport on Thursday night (21) after a man tried to open a door during the flight.


United Airlines Flight 1551 had been in the air for about an hour when "the crew reported a disturbance involving a passenger," the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.


The man tried to open "door 2L, at 36,000 feet (approximately 10,000 meters) altitude, and then attacked a passenger", the pilot reported to approach controllers, according to a recording available on the ATC.com website.

The plane made a U-turn over eastern Virginia and landed in Dulles a short time later, according to tracking website FlightAware.


None of the 145 passengers and six crew on board the Boeing 737 were injured, the airline said in a statement.


The flight was canceled and passengers were provided with accommodations for the night and were re-accommodated on a new flight to Guatemala City on Friday morning (22), United said.
