The FBI is investigating after a sky-high brawl broke out Wednesday morning on a Breeze Airways flight from Virginia to California.

Breeze flight MX704, which was headed from Norfolk International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, diverted to Grand Junction Regional Airport in Colorado after a passenger onboard “initiated a physical altercation with other guests and flight attendants,” the airline told Fox News Digital. 

Grand Junction Police Department officials told Fox News Digital that an intoxicated male passenger “became agitated,” and started “yelling racist slurs at airline staff while waving a skateboard.” 

Airline staff placed the man in restraints twice, but he was able to break free both times, police said. 

Breeze offers four different fare options that the company said “reflect our commitment to kindness,” including “No Flex,” “Nice,” “Nicer” and “Nicest.”

Certain flights start at less than $40 per ticket.

FBI Denver did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.
