A gunman who hijacked a passenger plane in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has surrendered after police and soldiers boarded the jet, say officials.
Six crew members held hostage by the man were released unharmed.
More than 150 passengers were on board when the man forced his way onto the Canada-bound plane demanding passage to Cuba, but were released within hours.
The hijacker, believed to be a 20-year-old local man, was described by the authorities as "troubled".
Jamaican Information Minister Daryl Vaz told the BBC the incident had ended "without any injuries or harm".
