An agitated man walked from seat to seat on a Delta Airlines flight before takeoff, and finally opened an emergency door and slid down the slide to the runway at Laguardia airport. A woman quickly followed him carrying a service dog.

An eyewitness to the flight told the newspaper that the two passengers switched seats on the plane, which was not fully booked. Although a flight attendant tried to get them to sit down, they never did, and the man said he had post-traumatic stress disorder, stating that if he sat down, he would “go crazy”, according to the other passenger .
Antonio Murdock, 31, and his companion, Brianna Greco, 23, were arrested by the Port Authority police in the incident. Murdock and Greco were accused of criminal invasion, reckless danger, disorderly conduct and obstruction of government administration, the sources said.
The service dog, who probably did not like or consent to a plane ride, was taken to the Animal Care Centers in New York in Brooklyn.
