DUBAI // A passenger had to be restrained on an Emirates flight from Dubai to Melbourne after reportedly assaulting a female cabin crew member.
“On Emirates flight EK406 arriving from Dubai into Melbourne on 20 August, there was an incident with a passenger that resulted in the passenger being restrained,” said an Emirates spokesperson, adding that police were called to the plane on arrival to assess the situation.
“After this assessment it was agreed that the passenger would meet their connecting flight onto Auckland and did so with no issues,” said the spokesperson. “The health and safety of our crew and passengers is of paramount importance.”
The man was allegedly upset about not being provided extra space to lie down.
