An “unruly passenger” was kicked off a WestJet flight headed to London, England, from Calgary on Wednesday night in an incident that escalated over mask non-compliance.

According to Calgary police, the passenger assaulted a member of the flight crew. About an hour into the 8.5-hour flight, the crew made the decision to return to Calgary International Airport.

Mamoudou Barry, 52, was charged with mischief over $5,000, “common nuisance endangering life,” assault and failing to comply with crew member’s instruction – a part of federal aviation regulations.
