An Air France flight was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday (19 August) after a naked passenger attempted to storm the cockpit.

The aircraft had departed from Paris, France for Oslo, Norway, but had to be rerouted to Brussels International Airport, Belgium after a passenger stripped off all of his clothes and attempted to force his way into the cockpit.

The man, a 31-year-old French national of Tunisian origin, was removed from the aircraft by police, but was later released without charge, reported The Associated Press.
