A passenger attacks a flight attendant in Bulgaria

A plane made an emergency landing at Sofia airport around 3 pm GMT, on Friday, while it was on its way from Paris to New Delhi, due to an attack by a passenger on the flight attendant, as reported by "Engineering Time" newspaper.

The newspaper added that an Indian passenger began to act aggressively shortly after the take-off of the Air France plane, where he quarreled with other passengers and attacked a flight attendant.

The passenger's aggressive behavior prompted the pilot to seek an emergency landing in Sofia.

The man was removed from the plane and charged with endangering the safety of flight.

If found guilty, he faces up to ten years in prison.

The plane resumed its flight to New Delhi.
