An EasyJet flight en route from Lyon, France, to Porto, Portugal, was compelled to return to its departure airport late Friday following an onboard security incident. A 26-year-old Portuguese passenger exhibiting signs of delirium attempted to enter the aircraft cockpit shortly after takeoff, prompting immediate intervention.

Other passengers quickly subdued and restrained the man until the plane safely landed back in Lyon, where police were waiting to handle the situation. The airline confirmed in a statement that flight EJU4429 had to turn around due to the passenger's behavior. "The flight was met by police on arrival and once the passenger was removed by police, the flight continued onto Porto," EasyJet explained.

French authorities reported that medical evaluations diagnosed the individual with airsickness and delirium. Following the incident, he was hospitalized for further treatment. The prompt response prevented any escalation and ensured the safety of all aboard.
