Four passengers and a flight attendant restrained the man, and police said 13 people were aboard the regional plane.
- On Wednesday, passengers on a Quebec flight restrained a man who attempted to enter the cockpit, forcing an emergency landing at La Romaine Airport. Sûreté du Québec officers arrested the suspect upon arrival.
