After causing damage, the passenger attempted to jump out of a window, Sarah Jantz, an American Airlines spokesperson, told DailyExpertNews.
The incident occurred when the flight was boarding to Miami, the airline said.
Crew members intervened and the person was eventually apprehended by local police, the statement said.
A replacement aircraft was en route to Honduras and the flight was rescheduled for a later date, the airline said.
