One individual was taken into custody after a Hawaiian Airlines flight was redirected off the tarmac while it was taxiing just before takeoff from the San Diego International Airport due to a potential bomb threat on the plane.

The Port of San Diego Harbor Police confirmed on X that Hawaiian Airlines Flight 15 was rerouted after receiving a call from the plane’s captain about a potential bomb threat on the aircraft.

“The flight was scheduled to leave the San Diego International Airport for Honolulu, Hawaii, and had just disconnected from the jetway when a flight attendant advised the captain that a passenger mentioned a possible bomb was onboard,” the statement noted.

“An arrest has been made,” Port of San Diego spokesperson Brianne Mundy Page said in an email, according to The Associated Press. There was no immediate information about a suspect or possible charges, but Page said more details would be released later.

“One guy stood up, (and) they immediately told him to turn around and put him in handcuffs,” Solorzano said. “They took him away.”

Police confirmed nothing suspicious was found onboard the aircraft.
