A plane passenger was arrested after he was accused of stripping naked to watch porn on his laptop before allegedly attacking a stewardess.

The 20-year-old took off all of his clothes shortly after the Malindo Air flight took off from Kuala Lumpar in Malaysia, according to local reports.

As the plane travelled towards Dhaka, Bangladesh, he is said to have initially agreed to put his clothes back on when crew members asked him to.

However he then tried to 'hug' a female crew member while on his way to the toilet, New Straits Times newspaper reported.

The student allegedly became more aggressive when his advances were rejected.

The man also masturbated and urinated on his seat, according to website Star Online.

Crew members, along with passengers, were then able to restrain him and tie his hands behind his back.

The airline said in a statement on Facebook on Sunday: “With regards to the incident about a disruptive passenger on board OD162 to Dhaka on March 3, the crew on board followed the standard operating procedure in restraining the passenger from causing any further disruption to the crew and passengers on board.

“The disruptive passenger was accompanied by Dhaka security team upon arrival and he has been put to jail by authorities in Dhaka due to this offence.

“The airline will continue to stay vigilant to ensure passengers travel soundly.”
