An unidentified man was arrested by federal agents after he got into a fight with his brother aboard a JetBlue flight.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that the fight on the Boston-to-Fort Lauderdale flight on Saturday forced the captain to land at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where the man was taken into custody.

Airport spokesman Don Atkinson said the airplane landed at RDU at around 5:40 p.m.

The flight resumed at around 7:30 p.m. While the second man was released, it was not known whether he reboarded the flight.

RDU officials couldn't be reached Sunday for further comment.
