BOSTON — An American Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Dublin, Ireland was diverted to Boston's Logan Airport Monday night after a passenger had a medical emergency.
FOX25 was originally told it was due to an unruly passenger, but have since learned the female passenger had a medical incident. Law enforcement met the plane on the runway and removed the passenger.
Mass State Police told FOX25's Ted Daniel that the passenger was placed in a seat but not "restrained" during the flight.
NEW: State Police tell me AA passenger issue had to do w/medication and woman going to hospital not barracks.

American Airlines says it is working to now get those passengers on to Dublin as quickly as possible. The plane is set to land in Dublin Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m.
The airline told FOX25, "the safety and security of our passengers are always our top priorities."
American Airlines tweeted at a person who said he was on flight 722, "We're sorry for the unexpected stop. We'll be letting someone off the plane in BOS and we'll have you on your way."
