A Flydubai flight was the scene of a serious altercation between pilots, according to France 24 correspondent Stéphane Amar. One of the co-pilots allegedly stabbed the pilot mid-flight.
Passengers, witnessing the incident, intervened to restrain the assailant. Their actions enabled the flight, which had been diverted to Saudi Arabia, to be corrected and to land safely in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening.
