According to AP NewsMassachusetts State Police spokesman Tim McGuirk said officers responded to the alert at 7:30 p.m. local time. In addition, McGuirk noted that the doors were opened suddenly and without warning before takeoff.

In addition, the incident occurred on a flight bound for San Juan, Puerto Rico on December 7. CBS News reports that witnesses said the unidentified man had been arguing with his girlfriend, causing him to open the plane’s emergency door and delay the flight.

This was reported by passenger Fred Wynn, who was on board WCVB TV that the couple was arguing on the phone. The passengers quickly panicked and asked him to stop. However, the police eventually arrived and removed him from the plane.

“I guess the guy wanted to see the girl’s phone and she wouldn’t let him see it. The guy got angry, got up, walked down the center aisle, grabbed the spare door, ripped it off, completely. An FBI agent grabbed him, handcuffed him.” Vin explained.

JetBlue confirmed PEOPLE that the flight was transferred to another plane after the incident. The plane landed safely in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
