A plane en route to France from Montreal diverted to St. John’s just minutes before the calendar turned to 2026 because of an unruly passenger.
RNC officers boarded the plane and arrested a 43-year-old man from France.
He has been charged with assault and causing a disturbance under the Criminal Code of Canada. He was also charged under the Aeronautics Act for dangerous and unruly behavior.
He was held to appear in court today.
