A flight from Toronto to London Heathrow Airport diverted to St. John's Saturday morning due to "an unruly passenger," says Air Canada. There were 368 passengers on board flight AC858 when it departed Toronto late Friday night, Air Canada said in a statement to CBC News. Upon arrival, "the aircraft was met with authorities," said Air Canada. Ryan Howell, a spokesperson for the St. John's International Airport Authority, told CBC the plane landed around 8:00 a.m. NT Saturday. The passengers were sent on a flight back to Toronto this afternoon, said Air Canada, with most people set to travel this evening on other flights.
