India, Feb. 1 -- An AirAsia flight travelling from Vietnam to Thailand was forced to make an emergency landing after a Russian-speaking passenger allegedly went on a violent and erratic rampage mid-air.

The incident took place on Thursday, January 29, on AirAsia flight 647, which was travelling from Nha Trang in Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand. The flight had already been delayed by around one hour and 40 minutes at the time of departure.

According to passenger accounts and videos that have gone viral, the man removed most of his clothing shortly after take-off, leaving him dressed only in black underwear. He was seen roaming the cabin, climbing over seats, loitering in the rear galley, and repeatedly confronting flight attendants.
