Air passenger accused of lewd act while drunk

A

passenger has been accused of getting drunk on the business class of a Dubai-bound flight, and committing a lewd act in front of a married couple.

The 49-year-old Australian passenger was said to have been flying in from a Gulf country to Dubai when the Emirati couple spotted him indulging in indecent behaviour in August.

Records said the Emirati couple informed the crew. The man was taken into custody and referred to the Public Prosecution when the plane landed. (Staff Report)
