A passenger on the plane was arrested after he desperately rushed to the cockpit and tried to get inside at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on November 18. Writes about it Insider.
A LOT Polish Airlines flight landed in New York from Warsaw when an unidentified person approached the cockpit and started knocking on the door.
First, the man started screaming in the back of the aircraft, and then rushed forward to the cockpit. After the flight attendants prevented him from entering the cockpit, he tried to leave the plane through the exit door.

After the man started pounding on the cockpit, the other passengers, along with the flight attendants, grabbed the man and pinned him to the ground. They tied him up and held him until the plane arrived at the terminal, where he was arrested by the police.
Police said one flight attendant was hit in the head during the incident.
It's unclear if the man will face any charges, but airport police said the passenger was taken into custody and taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.
