He was then reminded of his disrespectful conduct. It was then he bit the finger of the attendant. The video also showed that the man holding a plastic cup was repeatedly hurling punches. The instance further continued, when another attendant was seen kicking a passenger. The matter in no time turned to whole chaos which forced the pilot to make an emergency landing at Kualanamu International Airport Medan instead of Jakarta. 

The police in its statement said that the passenger is being treated. 

A similar incident was reported in the United States nearly two weeks ago when Beyond Meat's COO bit a man's nose. He was detained in the case but was later let out on bail of $10,000. 

Doug Ramsey recently left the company after the incident.
