Larry Hernandez, 38, was taken into custody on suspicion of kidnapping, assault and assault and battery causing injury, said Los Angeles airport police spokesman Rob Pendregon.
Hernandez had been scheduled to fly on Southwest Airlines from Ontario to Denver on Friday but was stopped and arrested at the gate, he said.
After Hernandez had booked his flight, police in Denver notified airport police in Southern California, Pendregon said.
