A video is making rounds on social media in which an IndiGo pilot was announcing the passenger cabin. During this, a passenger, in a yellow hoodie, who was seated in 28F, ran up the aisle and attacked the pilot. While the pilot retreated towards the cockpit, a female flight attendant pushed the unruly passenger away and warned him against assaulting the crew.
