45-year-old Paola Perruccio had to be restrained in the aircraft mid-air for "unruly and violent behaviour".
A 45-year-old Italian woman was arrested on Monday for creating a ruckus on board a Vistara Abu Dhabi-Mumbai flight. The airlines said Paola Perruccio, who had an economy class ticket, insisted on sitting in business class, and assaulted a crew member when stopped. She allegedly punched a cabin crew member, spat on another, and walked partially naked in the flight. She was arrested by the Mumbai police based on a complaint by the cabin crew.
Ms Perrruccio had to be restrained in the aircraft mid-air for "unruly and violent behaviour".
"In view of the continued unruly conduct and violent behaviour, the captain issued a warning card and made a decision to restrain the customer. The pilot made regular announcements to assure the other customers onboard of their safety and security. In accordance with the guidelines and our stringent standard operating procedures (SOPs), the security agencies on-ground were informed to take immediate action upon arrival," Vistara said in a statement.
The airline did not share other details about the incident.
