Passenger of Japan bound flight turns violent for not being allowed to do yoga in mid-air

The plane was an United Airlines flight from Honolulu International Airport to Narita International Airport but it had to return to Hawaii because of a violent passenger who wanted to do yoga instead of occupying his seat. The pilot of the March 26 flight was forced to turn the plane around after hearing the passenger yelling at crew members and shoving his wife - this is as per the FBI's criminal complaint.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 1 April 2016.

It seems the passenger told the FBI that he did not want to sit in his seat during the meal service and, therefore, went to the rear of the aircraft to do yoga and meditate. He lost his temper when his wife and flight attendants tried to coax him to return to his seat. He even pushed his wife away and head-butt and bite Marines who were passengers on the flight. They were trying to get him back to his seat.
Moreover, he threatened to kill passengers and yelled that there is no god. He urinated on himself and was put on suicide watch at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center. The US Magistrate has ordered that the man be released on US$25,000 bond, but with certain conditions including not leaving the island of Oahu and undergoing a mental health evaluation.
