BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: There is a breaking news story to report right now. Apparently, a United Airlines flight, earlier today from Miami, Florida, bound for Argentina, Buenos Aires, apparently had an unruly passenger, is what's being described to us at this point.

Apparently this passenger tried to force his way into a cockpit of this plane, Flight 855, bound for B.A. in Argentina. We are told the flight attendants restrained the man after he become unruly. The plane continued without incident down to Argentina.

Described as a man from Uruguay. That's what we're being told, at this time, and has been turned over to the police there in Argentina. Again, Flight 855, a United Airlines flight from Miami to Argentina. Unruly passenger trying to force his way into the cockpit. Fortunately, and luckily, the end result there, apparently is on a good side. Apparently the plane has continued and landed there -- quite safely there -- in Argentina. And certainly there will a lot of questions for that man once he steps off the plane.
