Was the Mayor of Toronto foiled?
A man’s drunken attempt to storm the cockpit and strangle the flight crew of a Toronto-bound airliner earlier this month was foiled thanks to a hockey team of off-duty police officers who just happened to be sharing the same flight.
“The crew was quite surprised when we told them there were 17 police officers on the flight,” said Les Baylis, a Halton Police constable and member of Justice Hockey Canada, a team made up of police officers.
Flight crew later credited the impromptu squad of Ontario police with averting an emergency landing on the Atlantic Coast to discharge the increasingly unruly passenger.
