A passenger stripped naked during a US Airways flight and resisted a flight attendant's efforts to cover him with a blanket before two off-duty law- enforcement officers on board overpowered him.
Keith Wright, 50, of the Bronx in New York, was taken into custody after he disrobed while sitting in his seat in the back of Flight 705, which was carrying about 148 passengers from North Carolina to Los Angeles.
Wright punched and kicked the attendant, whose call for help was answered by an off-duty Los Angeles police officer and a sheriff's deputy. They helped the attendant subdue and handcuff Wright before the flight landed.
