An airline spokesman said Flight 1074 returned after take-off on Monday evening as a passenger failed to comply with crew instructions. He did not specify what happened aboard the Boeing 737.
According to the New York Daily News, the man was subdued by fellow passengers. The newspaper cited witnesses saying the man had yelled "jihad" during the disturbance.
Local law enforcement met the aircraft at the gate and detained the passenger.
A video posted on YouTube shows the passenger being subdued and crying, "I'm sorry", as a voice tells him not to move.
He appears to have cuts on his face.
The flight was reportedly carrying 33 passengers and six crew. Airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs said the flight was preparing to take off again for Denver International Airport.
