A Russian man, who allegedly assaulted a purser onboard a Lufthansa flight en route to Mexico City, has been arrested in the USA after the aircraft was diverted to Chicago`s O`Hare International Airport.

The man apparently became enraged after the purser approached him about an alleged assault on another passenger and it took eight people, including flight attendants and passengers, and two ten-milligram injections of Valium to calm him down.

Lapkin is being charged with assault on board an aircraft, because he was able to knock the purser down before being restrained, and it is suspected that he was drunk during the flight.
