A passenger onboard an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Delhi on Wednesday ran from his seat, assaulted fellow passengers and crew members and tried to access the cockpit, saying he would not allow the plane to land.
NDTV News reports that the 40-year old Mumbai-based passenger, a car dealer, slapped a flight attendant and was blocked from the cockpit with a food trolley before being subdued by crew and passengers.
The man was not carrying any weapons. A passenger took a video of the incident.
He was arrested in Delhi and faces charges of assault, criminal intimidation and outraging the modesty of a woman.
His family claim he has a history of mental health problems.
