RCMP said a 20-year-old man is facing charges in connection with the investigation of a disturbance on an Edmonton-bound flight late last month.

At the time, Mounties said the man was allegedly “behaving erratically” on a WestJet flight that landed at Edmonton International Airport on Aug. 31, 2016. The plane landed safely and the man was taken into custody immediately after.

No injuries were reported as a result of the alleged disturbance.

Yusuf Hassan is charged with mischief over $5,000 under the Criminal Code of Canada, as well as endangering the safety or security of an aircraft and failure to comply with an aircrew, both charges under the Aeronautics Act.

He is scheduled to appear in Leduc Provincial Court on Sept. 8, 2016.
