According to FR24 (see first post) there was an initial climb with a reduction in airspeed and then a descent and increase in airspeed back to the original altitude/airspeed. Seems like there must have been a sharpish push over the top.
A standing passenger could have been forced to the floor and then have 'fallen' from there all the way to the ceiling at whatever the max -ve acceleration allowed by the airbus protection is.
I found an unofficial reference to the A320
