Soccer Players Restrain Naked Airline Passenger
BOSTON -- Members of the New England Revolution soccer team helped subdue an unruly passenger who was trying to open an emergency exit on a flight from Boston to Los Angeles Friday.

"The disruptive passenger was restrained by crew members and passengers," said American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner.

FBI spokesman Gary Johnson said a passenger stripped off his clothes, put them back on and then tried to open an emergency exit door.

American flight 725 was headed to Los Angeles when the disturbance broke out. After the man was subdued, the flight was diverted to Oklahoma City and the man was taken into FBI custody, Wagner said.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, was put into flexible handcuffs by flight attendants and held until the plane landed. No one was injured and the plane resumed its flight to Los Angeles.

The team was flying to play Chivas USA as part of the SuperLiga Tournament Sunday.
