A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv carrying 174 passengers made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after a violent altercation broke out between the two pilots in the cockpit.

The aircraft reportedly plunged roughly 17,400 feet in under two minutes before crew stabilized it and landed safely. The pilot accused of the attack has been arrested and is being questioned by Saudi authorities.
