A Somali man attacked the crew of a Mogadishu-bound plane.
Authorities arrested the yet-to-be-named man.
The man was aboard a Turkish plane traveling from Istanbul to Mogadishu on Friday.
The passenger, who was intoxicated, disturbed his fellow travelers when the plane reached Egyptian airspace in the wee hours of the morning.
He assaulted one of the flight attendants who tried to intervene to stop the commotion.
This turn of events forced the pilot to return to Istanbul where officers arrested the man.
