A man kicked walls and broke free from restraints before finally being subdued and handed over to Singapore police after attempting to smoke on a Qantas flight.
Qantas cabin crew restrained the burly man, believed to be in his 40s, after a toilet smoke alarm went off.
The man was restrained by his hands and mid-section twice after he managed to break free of the restraints once.
He continually yelled and kicked walls throughout the flight.
The man, on flight QF32, was handed over to authorities during a scheduled stop in Singapore.

People took no notice back in those days…having to endure a twenty hour trip in a smoke filled cabin was part and parcel of flying along with the red eyes and a dry cough!!!
