BOSTON—A person on board a plane at Boston Logan International Airport that was taxiing for takeoff suddenly opened an exit door and was quickly restrained by other passengers, authorities said.

The JetBlue passenger, Angel Luis Torres Morales, of Puerto Rico, was arraigned Wednesday in the East Boston division of the Boston Municipal Court on charges of interfering with operations of an aircraft, according to The Boston Globe. He pleaded not guilty and his next court appearance will be March 4.
