A doctor says he helped restrain the co-pilot and provided first aid to the wounded captain during an in-flight incident on Flydubai Flight FZ1073, after the co-pilot attacked the pilot in the cockpit.

Dr. Shota Musaev, who spoke with ABC News and was also quoted by Legit.ng, describes being among the passengers who responded to the emergency. He says he assisted in subduing the suspect and later treated the injured pilot while other passengers worked to save the aircraft’s crew. Both outlets present his account as part of the immediate response aboard the flight.

The reporting focuses on Musaev’s role and what he did after the cockpit situation escalated, including tying up or restraining the person accused of the attack and addressing the captain’s injuries. While the sources share these core details, they frame the story primarily through the doctor’s perspective, rather than offering additional, independently verified operational details about the incident or the investigation.
