WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A former international rugby player was among the passengers who helped to subdue a man who became violent during a domestic flight Monday, police said.
The 42-year-old man apparently became agitated after failing to take his medication and attacked a nearby passenger as the flight from Auckland came in to land at Wellington, Sergeant Roly Gascoine said.
Other passengers, including former New Zealand All Black Ofisa Tonu'u, restrained the man for about 10 minutes and handed him over to police who were waiting when the airplane touched down, Gascoine said.
