In Russia, a passenger with a knife attacked flight attendants during flight

A shocking incident occurred aboard an Ikar Airlines aircraft operating a flight from Nizhny Novgorod to Sochi.

According to the Shot Telegram channel, the conflict erupted after one of the passengers unilaterally decided to change his seat to one by the window. When crew members asked the man to return to his assigned seat, the situation escalated dramatically.

The disruptive passenger, described as a grey-haired man with a grim appearance, suddenly pulled out a knife and began threatening flight attendants, waving the dangerous object in front of their faces. Not limiting himself to threats, the troublemaker also demanded alcoholic beverages and, in a fit of aggression, damaged the overhead compartment.

Thanks to the professional actions of the crew, the situation was brought under control. Upon arrival at Sochi airport, the offender was immediately handed over to police officers. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
