Man who urinated over fellow plane passengers let off with warning

A drunk New Zealand passenger urinated in the aisle of a Jetstar aircraft - spraying one man and soaking a woman's scarf - but was allowed to leave the flight with only a warning. The man, travelling from Auckland to Singapore two days ago, emptied his bladder about six hours into the 11-hour flight. Passenger Amos Chapple said: "I hear this sound of running water and then I hear a guy going 'No, no, no, what the hell is wrong with you?'

"And there's this guy pissing in the aisle, waving back and forth." The man urinated on to the aircraft carpet, a man's leg, and a woman's scarf. "Everyone was yelling at him and he slowly became aware that he was being uncouth. He pulled up ... and wobbled back to the other end of the plane." The man and a friend were seen drinking whisky before take-off.



The man left the plane with only a warning and Singapore police were not called to deal with the matter on landing, he said. Jetstar crew gave wipes to the man who was sprayed and moved him to another seat, but Mr Chapple was left sitting next to a large reminder for the rest of the flight. "We were sitting next to a pool of urine for a good five and a half hours. You couldn't see a puddle but you could tell it was there. It was pretty outrageous."

Mr Chapple said he confronted the man in Singapore and asked him "what was that all about" but the man did not know what he was talking about. "I told him that he had pissed everywhere and he looked quite shocked," Mr Chapple said. JetStar said the urinator was issued an official warning from the plane's captain, had his alcohol confiscated, and returned to his seat to sleep off the public incident.
