HONG KONG - A Cathay Pacific steward was attacked by an elderly passenger who tried to barge into the plane's cockpit during the flight.
The cabin crew, a Taiwanese, was hit repeatedly by the 83-year-old man with a walking cane until it broke.
The unruly passenger had to be restrained with the help of other crew members. The injured steward suffered head trauma and vomiting, and had to be stretchered off the plane when it landed in Australia.
