Narrative:
Lead flight attendant called flight deck on interphone and said that there was an unruly passenger in the 1ST class cabin and that he was uncomfortable. Just after that, we heard a very loud bang on the cockpit door. We turned the aircraft around immediately and returned to sav, and notified law enforcement to meet the aircraft. The passenger attempted to throw the lead flight attendant out of the forward galley door and he struck 2 other passenger. I told local auths to notify the fbi. The assistant federal da in savannah dropped all charges against the passenger!
