A man on a Turkish Airlines flight claimed to have a bomb and threatened to enter the cockpit as the plane approached Istanbul Wednesday, but was tackled and subdued by other passengers, according to reports.

The would-be hijacker, identified as 40-year old Cuma Yasar, was wearing a ski mask and had demanded that the plane return to Oslo, Norway, says a report by CNN.
