Officials said Paul Benjamin Marchuk III was threatening passengers and quoting Bible passages while on board Delta flight 1050. Other passengers managed to subdue him.

Marchuk, 22, of Canton, Ga., was turned over to Nashville airport police.

According to a police arrest warrant, "The suspect would not allow the person sitting next to him to leave her seat to use the restroom. The suspect kept telling her that his blood would be on her and he was not going to let her leave no matter what happened. Several passengers restrained the suspect and the suspect attempted to bite one of the passengers in the leg."

No one on the aircraft was injured. The Boeing 757 with 178 passengers and a six-person crew flew on to Atlanta where it landed about 1 1/2 hours late.

Marchuk was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and held in the Davidson County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

On Wednesday, was evaulated at the Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute. A court hearing was set for Thursday.
