A US man has been arrested after trying to open an emergency exit door during a Florida to Boston flight, police say.

Robert Hersey, 43, of Arlington, Massachusetts, pulled the handle on the door, triggering an alarm, officials said. Witnesses described him as drunk.

A flight attendant escorted him to the rear of the plane and an off-duty police officer sat with him for the duration of the Delta flight.

Mr Hersey was charged on Tuesday night with interfering with a flight crew.

Passengers told local media Mr Hersey, who was wearing a shirt supporting the Boston Bruins hockey team, was foul-mouthed, intoxicated and unhappy the flight was late.

He tried to open the exit door on the Airbus 320 about half-way between Orlando, in Florida, and Boston, Massachusetts, passengers told the Boston Globe.

Mr Hersey was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
