Video shows Delta stowaway causing disruption on return flight to New York.
After being deplaned, the woman was taken into French custody.
A woman who was reportedly hiding on a Delta Air Lines flight to Paris was taken off a subsequent return trip to New York after she started yelling, according to footage.
According to WABC-TV, citing French officials, the suspected stowaway is a Russian national and legal resident of the United States who lacked valid travel documents to enter France.
A woman in a recorded video is heard shouting, "I don't want to go to the United States. Please help me," while flight attendants try to calm her down.
On Tuesday afternoon, a woman was scheduled to fly to the U.S. on a French aircraft, but she was removed from the plane after becoming disruptive, as reported by WABC-TV.
An official informed the outlet that they plan to send her back again with a French escort.
According to the station, six U.S. marshals accompanied the woman on the flight back to New York.
Instead, she was taken back into French police custody after her outburst.
Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment from French officials was not immediately responded to.
The woman previously boarded Delta Flight 264 to Paris just before 11 p.m. Tuesday
A flight attendant discovered that she was staying in the plane's bathrooms for an extended period of time and was subsequently caught.
According to a TSA spokesperson, an individual without a boarding pass successfully completed security screening, including on-person and bag checks, without any prohibited items. The individual bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations and boarded the aircraft.
The incident is under investigation by federal authorities.
"Delta stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that safety and security are of utmost importance, and as a result, the airline is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident and will cooperate with other aviation stakeholders and law enforcement to ensure a comprehensive investigation."
