An “unruly” teen has been arrested in connection with an assault aboard an Air Canada flight, an incident that forced the plane to make an unscheduled stop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, RCMP said.

The flight was en route from Toronto to Calgary on Jan. 3, when a teenage passenger assaulted a relative aboard the same flight, the RCMP said in a press release. Airline employees and passengers were able to restrain the youth following the altercation.
