| Air Europe Flight Diverted to Logan Air Europe Flight Diverted to Logan Quote:
BOSTON -- A charter flight bound from Cancun to Rome was diverted to Logan International Airport Wednesday morning after a passenger spat on the wall and slightly injured the person sitting next to him, according to an FBI spokeswoman.
The unruly passenger, Adrea Cafiero, appeared to be drunk, FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said. Crew members on the Air Europe flight subdued him and, according to Logan spokesman Phil Orlandella, tied him to his seat.
State police took Cafiero into custody and turned him over to the FBI after the Boeing 777 landed at 9:10 a.m. Television footage shows Cafiero being carried off the plane with his hands and feet bound.
