Cabin crew overpowered a Kazakh man Sunday after he tried to hijack a Paris-Rome plane and have it land in Tripoli by threatening an air hostess, AFP reports, citing Italy’s ANSA news agency.
Valeriy Tolmashev, who appeared very agitated, tried to hijack the Alitalia flight around 1930 GMT.
The flight arrived in Rome’s Fiumicino airport at 2005 GMT and the apparently unbalanced man was handed over to police, ANSA said, citing Italian border police. All the passengers were safe.
Tolmashev approached the hostess and held a small knife or nail file against her neck, according to different witnesses.
He said he wanted to hijack the plane, with 131 passengers on board, to the Libyan capital.
