SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A man on a flight from West Africa to New York City was removed from the plane and detained Thursday after authorities apparently added him to a no-fly list during the trip.
Customs and Border Protection agents detained the Gambian citizen while the Delta Air Lines jet stopped to refuel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after the flight from Dakar, Senegal. The flight originated in Nigeria.
The man detained in Puerto Rico was not immediately charged with any crime. Customs and Border Protection issued a statement identifying him only as a “potential person of interest.”
