In a shocking incident, a 45-year-old Italian woman passenger allegedly punched a cabin crew member and spat on her on Vistara’s Abu Dhabi-Mumbai flight. The incident took place on Vistara flight UK 256 on January 30 which took off from Abu Dhabi at 2:03 am IST on Sunday.
According to the reports, a woman, identified as Paolo Perruccio, in an inebriated state allegedly created a ruckus after cabin crew members objected her to sitting in a business-class seat though she was in the economy class. Pablo even took off some of her clothes and walked up and down the aisle in a partially naked state.
In view of the continued unruly conduct and violent behaviour, the captain issued a warning card and made a decision to restrain the customer, said reports. The cabin crew onboard filed a complaint against the woman who was later arrested by the Sahar Police after the flight landed in Mumbai in the early hours of Monday.
