Passengers on Peshawar-Dubai plane started assaulting the crew.
The cabin crew of every airline tries to treat the passengers politely and take care of their needs, but sometimes the unruly behavior of some passengers makes their life miserable. One such adverse example has surfaced after a video surfaced on social media of a Pakistani passenger causing major disruption in the Peshawar-Dubai flight of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).
In one clip, the man can be seen kicking out the plane window and punching seats while wearing only a vest. In another video, he is seen lying face down on the floor of the plane.

ARY News said the passenger was tied to his seat as per aviation law. The flight captain contacted Dubai’s Air Traffic Controller (ATC) and sought security.
The passenger was detained by security personnel on his arrival at the airport in Dubai. The incident took place on September 14 and according to PIA officials, the person was blacklisted.
Cabin crew has registered many such cases in the past as well.
