A drunken plane passenger pulled down his trousers and boxer shorts before urinating in the aisle on a flight to Britain, a court has heard.
Jinu Abraham, 39, was aggressive to cabin crew on the flight from India and had to be restrained until the plane had landed at Birmingham Airport.
The hospital porter from Northfield, Birmingham, was on an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner with his ten-year-old son and had been refused further alcohol after becoming drunk.
Abraham admitted being drunk on an aircraft and was fined £300 at Birmingham Magistrates' Court as well as being ordered to pay £500 compensation and £185 costs.
According to a report in the Birmingham Mail, the father refused a request to return to his seat when he became aggressive after drinking alcohol.
John Cardiff, prosecuting, said: ‘About 40 minutes prior to landing he removed his trousers and stood in the aisle. He pulled down his boxer shorts exposing his buttocks.
‘(He) then began urinating on the floor and seat of the aircraft. He was restrained by crew with plastic handcuffs and seat belts for the rest of the flight and was arrested on landing.’
Abraham admitted that he had drunk two whiskies while on anti-depressant medication, insisting that he could not remember anything he had done, reported the newspaper.
Alan Newport, defending, said Abraham had been on medication after one of his children died at birth and his wife had already returned from India on another flight with their 15-month-old child.
