Flight AF718 to Dakar (Senegal) flew over Bordeaux when he turned back. On Saturday, reports BFMTV, the aggressiveness of a passenger forced the crew of a device chartered by Air France to return to its starting point, Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle. According to our colleagues, the interested party threw herself on the chief of the cabin, tried to strangle her by screaming “I want to kill”.
Solicited by Le Parisien, the airline confirms that the theft has not arrived at destination due to the “inappropriate behavior of a client, requiring that it be controlled by crew members with the help of customers and taken care of by a voluntary doctor, theft passenger”.
The aircraft finally landed at 7:31 p.m. on the Tarmac of Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle. The police were then able to challenge the turbulent passenger, which was taken care of by the airport medical service. The flight was able to resume the road to Dakar about two hours later, after a change of crew, specifies BFMTV.
