“Initial reports indicate that while the flight was taxiing to the gate, a Customer onboard exited the aircraft via a rear galley door.
“The flight’s Captain stopped the aircraft and notified Air Traffic Control (ATC),” Landson said.
Phoenix Fire Department, Captain Todd Keller said in a statement that the
Phoenix Fire Station 19, which is located at the airport, was notified of the incident at around 8 a.m.
“The man landed on the tarmac and made his way to the fire station, entered the building and locked himself inside a dormitory room,” Keller said.
“After a few minutes, firefighters were able to get the adult male to unlock the door where he was then evaluated, treated and transported to a local hospital for a lower extremity injury.”
