Omaha, NE (KICD)– A Northwest Iowa man is facing several federal charges after allegedly attempting to open the doors of a commercial aircraft as it left the gate.

WOWT-TV reports a Delta Airlines flight was departing from Omaha bound for New York last Thursday morning when a passenger identified as Wesley Orban of Ireton got up from his seat and began running to the front of the plane yelling “God is real” and “open the doors” before pounding on the cabin doors and fighting to get them open.

Flight attendants and multiple passengers were able to force Orban to ground as the plane’s captain suspended the flight and returned to the gate where airport security then took him into custody for interfering with a flight crew.
