Alitalia Boeing 777-200ER, flight #AZ621 from Los Angeles (LAX) enroute to Rome (FCO) was diverted to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), due to unruly passenger.

The flight was forced to divert less than 70 minutes after departing from LAX, dumping fuel over Tooele County before making an unscheduled stop at SLC airport.

The flight was refuelled and left SLC at 22:24, after 2.30 hrs and landed safely at Rome–Fiumicino International Airport.
