An unruly passenger on a flight bound from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., tried open the door of the aircraft on Sunday, causing the plane to divert to Kansas City, Mo.

The passenger, who also tried to rush the cockpit, attempted to open the forward passenger door before a flight attendant used a coffee pot to subdue the individual, according to a spokesperson for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants.

"It felt like the plane was free falling and many feared the worst because people weren't fully aware of what was unfolding," tweeted a passenger on the flight, who described the offender as a middle-aged man. The flight attendant reportedly struck the man multiple times with the coffee pot while passengers restrained him.
