Israeli Executive Subdues Attacker on Flydubai Flight
Zvika Mans, CEO of Leumi Partners underwriting company, was among the Israelis who helped subdue a co-pilot who attacked the flight crew on a Flydubai flight. Mans was seen in social media videos inside the cockpit, assisting passengers in restraining the co-pilot. In one video, Mans, who appears to be covered in blood, tells the camera, "They attacked us, and we are here guarding the pilot to keep him alive." Another passenger recorded a video stating, "A few of us here took control of the pilot. We are on our way to Saudi Arabia." According to this passenger, one pilot was seriously injured, and the plane was likely heading for a landing, adding that "everything is okay."
The attacker was seen in a state of unconsciousness and on artificial respiration. The article does not specify the flight's origin or destination beyond the mention of Saudi Arabia.
