A male passenger on board a WestJet flight from Toronto to Halifax was arrested Friday night after he became violent and punched a flight attendant.

‘Police said the 24-year-old man travelling on a WestJet flight from Toronto became agitated during the plane’s descent.

“Several passengers stepped in and subdued the man and held him until police attended and arrested him,” said RCMP Sgt. Mike Lidstone. “They ended up taking him to the QE II hospital for psychiatric assessment.”‘

The Boeing 737 landed safely at Halifax with no other injuries reported.

The flight attendant is reported to be ok.
