A man who attempted to start a fire on board a Chinese plane has been restrained by passengers and crew members.
It was the latest in a rash of dangerous incidents aboard Chinese flights, including passengers opening emergency exits and fights between passengers and crew members.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China said the attempted arson occurred at around 1am this morning aboard a Shenzhen Airlines flight from the city of Taizhou to Guangzhou near Hong Kong.
It said an investigation is underway but gave no other details.
