[b]New Delhi: [/b]A man caused a mid-air scare and a security alarm on board a Mumbai-Delhi IndiGo flight on Wednesday when he suddenly turned violent, allegedly threatened to bring the plane down and even slapped an air-hostess.

The plane, which took off from Mumbai at 3:15 pm, had been airborne for about an hour when 40-year-old Mursalin Sheikh, a bearded man in a pathani suit, got agitated and began to talk threateningly. Crew members say he tried to make a dash for the cockpit and the aisle was blocked with a food trolley and he was restrained with the help of other passengers.

Co-passengers said the man seemed disturbed, but was not carrying any weapon.
The incident was filmed by a passenger on board the flight. On video, the man is seen in a scuffle, before he is pinned down. Other alarmed passengers are seen out of their seats.

Confirming the incident, IndiGo said, "This unruly passenger started screaming and also physically assaulted a crew member. The passenger also got violent with co-passengers, and tried to access the forward of the aircraft. IndiGo crew made appropriate announcements and deployed security measures to block access to the front of the aircraft and the front galley."

The pilot of the aircraft sought permission for a priority landing in Delhi and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) arrested the man at the airport. A case of assault, outraging the modesty of woman and criminal intimidation has been registered against him.

Mr Sheikh, who deals in second hand cars in Mumbai, will be produced in a Dwarka court in Delhi today. The police say the charges against him are bailable and that they will wait for a relative to pay the sureties and get Mr Sheikh out on bail. If that doesn't happen, they say, then he will be produced in the court
