Two Chinese nationals were ejected from a plane at the KL International Airport after creating a ruckus on board before take-off.
KLIA police chief Asst Comm Azman Shariat said that the incident occurred on Feb 9 at the KLIA 2 terminal.
The plane was about to fly to Jieyang, China when a female passenger started to cause a ruckus.
"The passenger had 'acted insane', disturbing other passengers. She and her partner were then brought out of the plane by security officers," he said in a statement on Feb 10.
He said that the two were then brought to the police station but failed to cooperate during questioning. Both also acted aggressively, he added.
"The police then requested assistance from the Health Ministry officers and after a check, both were administered sedatives.
"Both were then brought to Hospital Sultan Idris Shah in Serdang to undergo a full examination because both were suspected of mental health issues. They were then detained at the ward," he said, adding that no arrests have been made.
Both also tested negative for drugs and are currently being warded for additional testing.
