A Southwest Airlines flight was diverted for an emergency landing after a passenger allegedly tried to “play footsies” with a woman, harassed her, and then screamed at the flight attendant who challenged him.

The man was charged with interference with a flight crew member and simple assault, after the flight from Dallas to LA was diverted to Albuquerque on Oct. 16, reported local media.
