As the journalist Arno Romero told on his Facebook page, the passenger of the plane showed aggression and tried to enter the cockpit of the pilots in order to force them to change the course. However, the 46-year-old Sahibeddine prevented the hijacker, he threw the rowdy on the floor and tied him, which allowed to successfully continue the flight.

After the landing of the board at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, the offender was handed over to the law enforcement bodies, and Sahibeddine received an ovation from other passengers and crew, the journalist said.

Tarik Sahibeddine was born on October 22, 1971 in Morocco. The boxer has 23 fights on his professional record, in which he scored 12 wins, two of them by knockout, and suffered 11 defeats.
