[Guest legoauto]

A man has been overpowered by cabin crew on an Alitalia flight from Paris to Rome, after he drew out a small knife and demanded the plane divert to the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

 

A female flight attendant was slightly injured as the man was subdued.

 

The suspect, from Kazakhstan, was handed over to police and arrested after the plane landed at Rome's Fiumicino airport at 2005 GMT.

 

He was reportedly "in a very confused state of mind", news agencies report.
