An Air France flight en route from Paris to New Delhi made an emergency landing at Sofia Airport in Bulgaria on Friday at about 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) because of a disruptive passenger, Bulgarian officials said on Saturday. The passenger, an Indian citizen, began to act up soon after take-off, quarreling with other passengers, assaulting a flight attendant, and pummelling the cockpit's door.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
