While en route the hijacker held a knife to the throat of a female passenger and demanded to be flown to West Berlin. By changing direction several times, the pilot tricked the hijacker into thinking they had landed there. They actually landed at Warsaw where the Polish police boarded and took the hijacker into custody.
