According to spokespersons for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee and KLM, it is not yet clear who the aggressive passenger was targeting on board. However, the situation was so serious that the man was overpowered and had to be handcuffed to his chair.

The Marechaussee waited for the flight at Schiphol at the gate and boarded the flight to apprehend the passenger.
