MIAMI (WSVN) -- Police had to respond to Miami International Airport after reports of an unruly passenger on board an American Airlines plane.

This incident unfolded on American Airlines Flight 683, bound to Santigao in the Dominican Republic, from Gate D37, at around 11:40 Wednesday morning.

The flight left the gate when the incident occurred but did not take off. The pilot turned around and called for police assistance.
