Summary
Flight 3046 was met by police and EMTs in Philadelphia after a passenger bit another traveler and tried to fight others as the plane approached from Charlotte.
Pilot audio reviewed by Fox News Digital showed the crew urgently requesting both law enforcement and medical help, with the captain saying the passenger may have been hallucinating.
American Airlines said Monday the passenger was experiencing a medical emergency and was assisted by a medical professional onboard before additional personnel met the flight at the gate.
The episode ended without a reported crash or diversion, underscoring how in-flight medical or mental health crises can quickly become security incidents near landing.
