A cross-country flight was forced to make an emergency stop in Oklahoma City Thursday night. 

Oklahoma City police helped escort a passenger accused of assaulting a flight attendant and air marshal on the flight. 

The flight was heading from Washington DC to Los Angeles.  

Social media video shows the passenger being taken off the flight. 

Actress Tiffany Shepris-Tretta was on the flight and posted a photo on Twitter. 

It is not clear what started the argument on the plane at this time. 

The passenger is now in police custody in Oklahoma City. The air marshal and flight attendant were evaluated on the ground and are expected to be okay. 

The plane landed in Los Angeles around 12:30 a.m. CT.

The FBI is investigating the incident. No details about the passenger have been released.
