Southwest Airlines is looking into an incident in which a passenger on board a flight from Colorado Springs to Phoenix jumped out of the plane after it landed, as it taxied to the gate.

Southwest says the unidentified passenger jumped out of the galley door, near the rear of the plane. After landing on the tarmac reports say the 30-year-old man made his way to an airport fire station, where he locked himself inside a bathroom.


Officials eventually talked him out of the bathroom and he was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. So far no charges have been filed against the man whose motive remains unknown.
