Hamam al-Hammami, the man accused of attacking a Flydubai captain, reportedly defended slapping a woman in posts from an X account believed to be his, according to the Telegraph. The posts were published between November 2021 and August 2022, while he was studying remotely at a UK university.
The 29-year-old Omani national was accused of attacking Captain Smit Machchhar on Wednesday and of attempting to take control of the aircraft. The New York Post account states that the flight, with 182 people on board, nearly crashed before passengers intervened and subdued him.
