'Out of control' Robert: “Crew ended up put him down temporarily with an injection (we guess) and tied him up with belts"

'Out of control' passenger forces London-bound flight into U-turn
 
An “out of control” passenger forced a Virgin Atlantic flight bound for Heathrow to make a U-turn back to Hong Kong today.

Flight VS201 was forced to turn back after a 26-year-old passenger became disruptive, apparently forcing cabin crew to restrain him.

The man, identified only as “Robert”, was arrested when the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport and sent to hospital, authorities said.

The flight had been in the air for just over an hour-and-a-half when the passenger “lost control and didn’t follow instructions from staff”.

Fellow passengers claimed he shouted and intimidated travellers before being restrained by belts.

Katie Wong, who claimed to be on board the disrupted flight, wrote on Facebook: “He just gone out of control (sic). Talk loud and walking ard. Actually he touched my shouter (sic) and go intimidated at the aisle when the captain announced we’re diverting the flight.

“The crew ended up put him down temporarily with an injection (we guess) and tied him up with belts.”
