Norwegian man arrested on Finnair BKK-HEL flight
Passengers helped the crew to cuff a Norwegian man who tried to get to business class after flying 1½hours. Man was full of rage and it was very difficult to tie him up. Police arrested him when the plane arrived to Helsinki.
The arrested man had been drinking for many days and was suffering from "drinking madness". He was already denied for boarding on the previous day flight for being too drunk.

i've had a far less threatening situation on a s/h AY flight some years ago.
A fairly drunk Finnish used car dealer with obvious neo-nazi sympathies got annoyed as I wouldn't drink with him and started hurling death threats. Informed the cabin staff, switched seats and two police escorted him off the plane on a remote stand at HEL. I was given the option to press charges but declined and he was taken off for a sobering night at the airport police compound.
BKK and SVO might be the worst routes?
