A 26-YEAR-OLD Bangladeshi man was taken to Kajang Hospital for psychiatric evaluation after causing a disturbance at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2 on Sept 17.

KLIA district police chief Asst Comm Ravi Munusamy said the incident occurred at about 4.40pm when the man allegedly shouted loudly and disturbed other passengers.

“The suspect began shouting loudly and disturbing other passengers. Airport security personnel responded swiftly to the scene and brought him to the Terminal 1 police station,” ACP Ravi said.

However, the suspect remained agitated while at the police station and continued to behave aggressively.
