The man, identified by Italian media as Valeriy Tolmachev a citizen of Kazakhstan who lived in Paris, demanded the flight divert to Tripoli after holding a female flight attendant at knifepoint.

A passenger on the plane said: “I did not see anything at the beginning, I just heard a voice saying: 'Be quiet,' and then the flight attendant held by him, with something like a knife on her throat.”

Tolmachev was quickly overpowered by other attendants and the captain radioed ahead for police to meet the flight when it landed.

The female flight attendant was treated for minor injuries at Rome airport.
