Police: Foreign man who caused disturbance at KLIA suspected of having mental health issues

SEPANG, September 20 — A Bangladeshi man who displayed aggressive behavior and disrupted passengers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport's Terminal 1 on Thursday is believed to have mental health issues, according to Kuala Lumpur International Airport district police chief ACP M. Ravi. The incident occurred at 4:40 PM when the man began shouting loudly and causing disturbances at an airline counter at Terminal 1.

Terminal security personnel promptly arrived to regain control of the situation and transported the suspect to the Terminal 1 police station for further actions.

During a cooling-off period, the suspect exhibited uncontrollable aggression and was subsequently taken to Kajang Hospital for psychiatric evaluation and treatment. The 26-year-old suspect was scheduled to board a flight back to Bangladesh at 10:20 PM on the same day. Ravi added that the embassy had been notified about the incident.

He urged the public to refrain from speculating about the incident to avoid the dissemination of false information that could lead to public distress, especially within the premises of KLIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
