An emotionally disturbed passenger who stripped naked on a Saturday flight from Chicago to New York will not be charged.

The incident happened Saturday night on Delta Flight 6562 from O'Hare Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton said.

The passenger, a woman, stripped nude during the flight and was restrained on the plane and taken into custody by local law enforcement upon landing, Talton said.

A spokeswoman with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said there was no interference with the flight.

The woman, in her late-20s, was "emotionally disturbed" and taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in New York, the spokeswoman said.

Police are not releasing her identity or hometown.
