Narrative:

A passenger complained of being too warm, then became aggravated and abusive, so I let my other crew member assist because we had other occurrences happening around the aircraft, such as people trying to open doors and near riot conditions. Finally, with an rn and doctor and emt's, the passenger refused treatments. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that there was a doctor and an rn on board as passenger. The man had quite a medical history, and had at least 30 different prescriptions with him. He became abusive in the air and on the ground when the cabin crew refused him oxygen, because he didn't meet their airline's criteria for oxygen. He refused the emt's help in hartford, where they had diverted to overnight. The flight was supposed to go to bos, but bad WX and winds forced them to divert to hartford. Once on the ground in hartford, the airport had no gates to fit an A300, so they sat on the side of the field for hours. That's when the crew had a riot going on. 3 different men tried to open the doors and leave the plane, because they couldn't stand the heat and the waiting. When they finally deplaned, the reporter had the state police arrest the 3 men who tried to jump out of the plane. The whole crew and the passenger laid over in hartford, and they flew out the next day. The 'ill' man was one of the passenger and required no medical assistance.
