A SriLankan Airlines jet made an emergency landing yesterday after a British
passenger cut his throat with a piece of broken mirror in the lavatory,
reports said.

The plane, flying from London to Sri Lanka, landed at Istanbul's Ataturk
Airport after crew members found the man in the lavatory with his neck
bleeding, Turkey's Anatolia news agency reported. A doctor on the plane
stopped the bleeding and stitched the wound with the help of crew members.

The report said the man was trying to kill himself. Doctors at a hospital
near the airport said he was not seriously injured. The man was not
identified.

Passengers were flown on to Sri Lanka aboard the same plane after the
stopover.
