A passenger reportedly jumped off a Southwest Airlines flight that had just landed at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix on Saturday morning.
The passenger, identified only as a 30-year-old man, exited the aircraft through a galley door at the rear of the aircraft and briefly locked himself in a fire station on the tarmac in Phoenix, according to FOX 10.
The pilot of Flight 4236 from Colorado Springs, Colorado stopped the plane and contacted air traffic control. Authorities were able to get the man to unlock the door of a dormitory room at the fire station in a matter of minutes, KPNX-TV in Phoenix reported.
He was taken to hospital with a leg injury. It was unclear whether he would face charges.
