A Delta Air Lines pilot arrested a passenger who tried to enter the cockpit in an incident that forced a New York-bound plane to return to Puerto Rico on Wednesday, authorities said.
Puerto Rico police said that 30-year-old Carlos Ram�rez Rodr�guez became aggressive and tried to enter the cockpit.
Police said he yelled, �I am God. Tomorrow San Juan is going to disappear. I came to save the world, and I�m going to end terrorism.�
It is unclear whether Ram�rez has an attorney.
Police said the FBI is investigating the incident aboard Flight 579.
FBI spokeswoman Limary Cruz-Rubio said she did not immediately have further details.
Delta did not immediately return a message for comment.

Can anyone explain, ?!
Once the person was restrained, why are they returning to origin and inconveniencing 200+ passengers?
(Besides all the extra costs).
This happens so many times- restrain the offender in some �plastic ties� and keep on.
