Passenger allegedly tries to open plane door twice on flight to Sydney before being restrained by crew
Briefly

A Jordanian man has been charged after allegedly attempting to open the emergency exit door during a flight to Sydney from Kuala Lumpur. The incident occurred while he was being moved to a different seat, following his initial attempt. Crew and passengers restrained him after he allegedly assaulted an airline crew member. The man faces charges that could lead to a decade in prison, highlighting the serious legal and safety repercussions of dangerous behavior in aviation, as emphasized by the AFP's commitment to passenger safety.
The actions of this man could have had tragic consequences, and passengers and aeroplane staff shouldn't have to put up with unruly, violent, or dangerous behaviour on flights.
Dangerous behaviour on aircraft will not be tolerated, and the AFP will not hesitate to take action against people who engage in criminal behaviour.
The man was then restrained by crew and passengers, during which he allegedly assaulted an airline staff member.
He has been charged with two counts of endangering the safety of an aircraft, and one count of assaulting an aircraft crew.
