Flydubai Passenger Tells Netanyahu How He Subdued Attacker Mid-Air

An Israeli passenger who helped subdue an attacker aboard a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv recounted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu how he entered the cockpit, choked the man and pulled him from the controls as the plane nosedived. The flight diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, for an emergency landing; a rescue flight later brought about 180 passengers, mostly Israelis, to Ben Gurion Airport. The injured pilot, reportedly stabbed, is an Indian national.
