Man urinates on another passenger on United Airlines flight

A man urinated on another passenger during a United Airlines flight from San Francisco, USA to the Philippines last December.

According to an SFGATE report, Jerome Gutierez was sleeping on his business class seat on UA Flight 189 when another passenger got up and allegedly urinated on him.

Reports did not reveal the identity of the man who allegedly urinated on Mr Gutirrez.

“He was asleep and buckled in and was surprised when he looked at the man and thought he was dreaming,” the victim’s stepdaughter, Nicole Cornell told the news outlet.

Flight attendants told victim not to approach assailant

Mr Gutirrez was soaked in the man’s urine from the stomach down.

However, United Airlines flight attendants told him not to approach the man to avoid a confrontation, fearing the assailant would become violent.

They also provided the victim with a set of pyjamas to wear for the rest of the flight.

“They put the needs of the airline before my stepdad’s health,” Ms Cornell claimed, adding she was “disgusted” and “in shock” with how the airline handled the incident.

“That is a biohazard, and the plane should’ve turned around to address this issue,” she expressed.

Man who urinated on fellow passenger banned by United Airlines

In response to a query from SFGATE, United Airlines spokesperson Anoushah Rasta confirmed there was “a passenger disturbance” during the flight.

“We have banned the passenger,” she added.

Ms Cornell shared that the man has apologised to her parents and “begged them not to press charges,” SFGATE wrote.
