BOSTON (Reuters) - A Washington-bound United Airlines flight from London was diverted to Boston on Wednesday after a confrontation with an unruly passenger, transport officials said.

"There was an altercation with at least one female passenger," a United Airlines spokeswoman said. A federal law enforcement official said the woman had an anxiety attack.

"I don't believe she has any ties to terrorism," the official said. Police said they arrested one person but declined to say who it was.

There was no immediate comment on media reports the woman had Vaseline, a screwdriver, matches and a note on the Islamic militant group al Qaeda.
