Crew members found the passenger bleeding heavily shortly before the descent into Hyderabad, India. They administered treatment on board the aircraft before giving the passenger to a medical team on the ground. The 30-year-old man, who works as a draftsman in Dubai, had wounds on his neck, ankles and wrists. He was in stable condition at an area hospital Monday. It’s still unclear what he used to injure himself or why he attempted suicide. Emirates said the plane returned to Dubai without passengers for maintenance. \[[AP](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/airline-passenger-attempts-suicide-during-flight "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/52128/passenger-suicide-flight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/52128/passenger-suicide-flight/"},"headline":"Airline Passenger Attempts Suicide During Flight","datePublished":"2014-04-07T17:35:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:10:29.158Z","description":"The 30-year-old man, who works as a draftsman in Dubai, was on a flight to the Indian industrial hub of Hyderabad.","url":"https://time.com/52128/passenger-suicide-flight/","keywords":["India","Air travel","UAE"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Rayman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/noah-rayman/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/52128/passenger-suicide-flight/","name":"Airline Passenger Attempts Suicide During Flight"}}]}] ```
