Scenes broadcast by Al Arabiya revealed part of the effects of the incident witnessed by the Flydubai plane heading from Dubai to Tel Aviv, on Wednesday, after the flight ended with an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia following an accident inside the plane.

The video footage showed traces of blood in the front area of ​​the plane, while a man appeared with a bleeding wound in the head, along with people who showed signs of injuries.

Traces of blood also appeared on parts of the place, while people appeared dealing with the injured in the minutes following the incident.

The scenes do not document the moment the clash began or the stabbing itself, but they reveal the extent of the chaos that followed what happened inside the plane.

Flight FZ1073 was on its way from Dubai to Tel Aviv when it witnessed an incident inside the cockpit, which ended with the pilots being injured and the plane being diverted to Saudi Arabia.

According to available information about the accident, a quarrel occurred between the two pilots inside the cockpit, while reports said that one of them was stabbed.

The Tabuk Airport administration announced that the air control center received a distress call from the flight at 8:44 am, before the plane landed safely at the airport at 9:45 am.

The Saudi authorities confirmed that the plane's pilot and co-pilot were injured and were taken to hospital for treatment.

For its part, Flydubai said that its crew was present on the flight and was able to control the situation and land the plane, confirming the safety of the passengers.

Other scenes showed the plane parked at Tabuk Airport, while passengers were leaving via an escalator in the presence of airport employees and competent authorities.

The pictures also showed what appeared to be damage to the upper part of the vertical tail of the plane, but the cause of this damage or its connection to the incident was not clear from the scenes alone.

Between the blood that appeared inside the plane and the quarrel that preceded the emergency landing, the details of the moments witnessed in the cockpit still need to be resolved by the investigation, especially regarding how the confrontation began, its motives, and the sequence of events before the crew was able to control the plane and land it safely.
