Richmond RCMP say officers put a spit hood on the head of an “aggressive” airline passenger who tried to bite officers after allegedly assaulting a travel companion.

Mounties say they were called to Vancouver’s airport around 12:15 p.m. on Jan. 13 by airline staff who reported that a person posing a “potential safety risk to staff and passengers” had been restrained on a flight.
