    A flight that left Boston headed for Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Saturday was forced to land in North Carolina after a fight broke out on board, according to Jet Blue authorities.

    Jet Blue flight 455, which took off from Logan airport at 3:28 p.m. on Saturday, was scheduled to arrive in Florida in the afternoon, but made an unscheduled landing in Raleigh, N.C., following the incident.

    One person sustained a facial injury, which may have been from a fist, the Transportation Security Administration said. TSA said the fight involved three people, who were all possibly related to each other. One person was smoking in the bathroom, TSA said.

    So far, one person has been detained.

    According to Jet Blue, 88 passengers and four crew members were onboard the plane.
