A United Airlines spokesman says a flight headed from Washington, D.C., to Denver had to return to Dulles International Airport after a passenger didn’t do as the crew said.

Spokesman Luke Punzenberger said in a statement that Flight 1074 returned after take off Monday evening. He says police met the plane at the gate and detained the passenger. His statement did not provide further details about what happened on board the Boeing 737. It is said that 33 passengers and six crew members were on board the Boeing 737 at the time.

The pilot later explained that "we had a passenger becoming violent" and that he "ran toward the cockpit." The pilot adds, "We had a passenger becoming violent. He's controlled by other passengers now. We don't know his mental condition. But sound like he's controlled for now. Just need to get on the ground. The pilot assures the door of the cockpit is locked. 

Investigators believe the man is mentally unstable and that he may have been on some type of medication or drugs at the time he tried to go into the cockpit. And no Weapons were found. Airport spokeswoman Gibbs said the passenger was taken to a local hospital for a test. 

The plane took off for Denver again shortly after midnight local time.
