Passenger uses Southwest Airlines plane's emergency exit and climbs on wing in New Orleans
The man was not arrested and was taken to hospital after jumping out of the plane, which had not yet taken off.
A 38-year-old man was found "incoherent and not fully aware of his surroundings", police said, after he had jumped to the ground and was captured by staff near the plane in New Orleans.
The Southwest Airlines flight had not yet taken off from Louis Armstrong International Airport at that point on Sunday night.
"There is no indication that the man left anything on the plane, nor was he found in possession of any weapons of any type," Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
"He is not expected to face any criminal charges locally, however the investigation has been referred to federal authorities. No one was injured during the incident."
