TORONTO — A Toronto man is facing charges after a plane was forced to make an unscheduled layover in the Dominican Republic.

Peel police have charged Adrian Worrell, 33, with several counts of assault, one count of mischief and a charge of endangering the safety of an aircraft in flight.

A Toronto-bound Skyservice flight was diverted to Punta Cana on Tuesday when a disruptive passenger tried to tamper with an aircraft cabin door.

A man was detained in the Dominican Republic, where more than 200 passengers and the plane's crew also spent the night before returning to Toronto the following day.

Worrell is scheduled to appear Friday in a Brampton courtroom for a bail hearing.
