Librarian restrained on Austrian Airlines flight
Passengers had to restrain an Austrian librarian following a mid-air dispute at the weekend.

Customers said that a 32 year-old lunged toward one of the crew members onboard an Austrian Airlines flight from Washington to the company’s base in Vienna, but didn’t make contact. Reports said that he had consumed wine and a sleeping tablet and became upset and aggressive when flight attendants refused to serve him additional alcohol.
