(NCA NewsWire) A man accused of making an alarming bomb threat on board an international flight will remain behind bars on remand for two months amid concerns for his mental health.
Muhammad Arif caused chaos on a Malaysia Airlines flight earlier this week when he allegedly claimed to have a bomb in his bag and ranted at the airline crew.
The flight had been destined for Kuala Lumpur but it was forced to return to Sydney after the 45-year-old allegedly began loudly claiming to be a “slave of Allah.”
In one video posted to social media by another traveller, he can be seen arguing with flight attendants and ranting about Allah.
