Plane diverted after passenger bites crew’s finger.

 

A Turkish Airlines flight to Jakarta was forced to divert after a passenger got into a fight with flight attendants and had to be restrained.

 

According to reports, the incident occurred after cabin crew tried to calm an intoxicated 48-year-old Indonesian passenger identified as Muhammad John Jaiz Boudewijn, who happens to be a pilot for Indonesian airline Batik Air.

 

As they argued, Boudewijn allegedly bit the flight attendant’s finger.

 

In a video shared online, he can be seen punching the crew member who is holding a pair of plastic handcuffs.

 

As stunned passengers watch, the flight attendant then makes an effort to tackle the man to the ground.

 

The flight, which was due to arrive in Jakarta on Tuesday at 5pm local time, instead turned around above Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to land at Kualanamu International Airport, Medan.

 

Boudewijn was reportedly escorted off the plane and taken to a health clinic.

 

A spokesperson for the Jakarta Metro Police said: “Because of the ruckus on the plane, Turkish Airlines dropped the Indonesian passenger who was injured at Kualanamu Airport, Medan.

 

“The Indonesian citizen who was suspected of being drunk is undergoing treatment at Kualanamu Health Clinic.”

 

The incident was now being investigated by the Deli Serdang Police, which operates in the Medan region.
