VIDEO: A passenger reportedly jumped from an airplane at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Saturday morning, officials said.
A spokesperson with Southwest Airlines said Flight 4236 landed in Phoenix from Colorado Springs and was taxiing to the arrival gate in the morning.
While en route to the gate, a passenger on board, later identified as 30-year-old Daniel Ramirez, jumped off the plane from a rear galley door. The flight's captain stopped the plane and notified Air Traffic Control, the spokesperson said.
The Phoenix Fire Department said Ramirez walked into the fire station at the airport after jumping off the plane. Crews said he then walked into a dormitory room and locked himself inside.
Firefighters were able to get Ramirez to unlock the door after a few minutes. He was then evaluated, treated and taken to a hospital for a lower extremity injury.
