A passenger bit a flight attendant: the flight to Seattle was turned back to Tokyo halfway
On January 16, an American airline passenger bit a flight attendant during a flight. Because of this, the All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight, bound for Seattle, will return to Tokyo, reports CNN.
ANA Flight 118 took off from Tokyo Haneda Airport at 21:47. It turned around just over an hour after it began its journey, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.
An ANA spokesman said the male passenger was detained by police after the plane landed in the Japanese capital.

The flight attendant suffered minor injuries, the press service said.
Inadequate passengers
This is not the first case of a bite in the air. In 2022, two passengers were fined heavily for hitting and biting crew members and other passengers on American Airlines and Delta Air Lines flights.
They were fined $81 and $950 respectively. These are the two largest fines ever imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration on individual passengers for behavior on board an aircraft.
Several incidents of uncontrollable behavior and aggression from passengers have been reported this month. An American Airlines flight was diverted to a Texas airport on January 3 after a passenger allegedly punched a flight attendant and assaulted at least one police officer.
