According to passengers: In the Pegasus Airlines flight from Tehran to Istanbul, a man "attempted to open the emergency exit of the airplane half an hour before landing while shouting 'Allahu Akbar.'"

This man, who is not Iranian, had traveled from London to Tehran but was not allowed to enter.

One of the flight attendants tried to stop him but was met with a punch to the face. After that, several passengers managed to subdue this individual.

No security personnel were seen on this flight, and after the airplane landed, this individual was arrested by the authorities.
