Panic on board this Boeing 777-300 linking Paris to Dakar (capital of Senegal) on January 31. An individual apparently went out of control 20 minutes from landing, reports Sud Ouest.

A flight attendant quickly went to look for the border police officers (PAF), attached to the Hendaye administrative detention center, who were present on this flight.  The officers were acting as part of a deportation mission to the border.

Apparently in "state of dementia", the madman was trying to break into the cockpit of the ;#39;device. This is a 23-year-old Franco-Senegalese, studying in Toulouse. A source close to the device. investigation explains that the passenger would have screamed "I am marabouted".

Difficulties controlling the individual

The police will then try to control the individual, not without difficulty, the latter struggling with all his strength. Blows, scratches… the police manage to keep the man on the ground but encounter all the difficulty in the world in handcuffing him. The corridor they are in is indeed very narrow. They finally managed to tie his knees and ankles, thanks to the help of a steward in particular.

When the plane got off the plane, the individual was handed over to the Senegalese authorities.
