A 45-year-old resident of Elbląg, who behaved aggressively during a flight from Bristol to Krakow, is to pay a fine of PLN 10,000 and a compensation of PLN 1,500 for the attacked officer. The man did not follow the crew's orders and tried to destroy the plane's window during the journey, and then attacked the border guards.
On Tuesday morning, the captain of a scheduled plane flying from British Bristol to Krakow asked border guard officers for help. The crew needed help in dealing with a passenger who was behaving aggressively, did not listen to employees' orders and tried to damage the window during the flight.
After the plane landed, border guards boarded. However, the 45-year-old from Elbląg did not follow their orders.
