An Indian captain reportedly helped prevent a suspected terror attack aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv after the co-pilot allegedly attacked him with a knife. According to Israeli media reports, the co-pilot, reportedly an Omani national, attempted to take control of the aircraft or crash it. The injured captain fought back, while passengers rushed to the cockpit to restrain the attacker. Off-duty pilots travelling on the flight eventually took control of the aircraft. The plane landed in Saudi Arabia, and both pilots were taken to a hospital in Tabuk. Israeli authorities are investigating the incident and the co-pilot's background. (PC: India Today)
