Singapore Police are questioning a man who threatened to bring down a Qantas flight from Sydney to Singapore.
The man was restrained by flight stewards after he made threats to disrupt QF31 using mind power.
According to ABC reporter Nick Luchinelli, who was onboard the flight, it seemed the middle-aged man was either under the influence of drugs or alcohol - or possibly both.
He was suffering some sort of delusion and people who were sitting close to him in the next row said he was threatening to use the power of his mind to bring the flight down.
The stewards had to take the threat seriously so he had both his arms and legs cuffed, and remained that way for the rest of the flight.
Singaporean police boarded the flight after passengers disembarked.
