A man flying from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney will face serious charges after allegedly attempting to open the plane’s emergency door several times during the flight.
The 46-year-old Jordanian man is accused of trying to open the rear emergency exit door mid-flight on Saturday evening.
The dangerous alleged act sparked immediate concern from crew and passengers and the man was escorted back to a seat in the middle of the plane.
However, the 46-year-old allegedly made a second attempt to open the middle emergency exit door.
He was restrained by crew members and passengers with one worker allegedly assaulted in the process.
Australian Federal Police arrested the man once the plane landed safely in Sydney.
It is unclear which airline was affected by the incident.
