A hijacker who tried to take over a Turkish Airlines plane has been disarmed, reports say.

They say passengers on board the plane flying from the Turkish city of Antalya to St Petersburg, Russia, overpowered the unidentified attacker.

The Airbus A-320 with 167 people on board continued its flight after the incident, Turkey's CNN Turk says.

Details of the incident - which reportedly happened in Belarus' air space - remain sketchy.
