One of the passengers from the flydubai flight that arrived from Saudi Arabia is being hospitalized, Magen David Adom says.

The ambulance service says it examined all of the passengers, who were on an earlier Dubai-Tel Aviv flight that landed in Saudi Arabia after the copilot allegedly stabbed the pilot in a suspected attempt to crash the aircraft.

One passenger, a 51-year-old man, is being taken to a hospital in good condition after suffering trauma to his upper body, MDA says.
