LONDON: British police arrested a British man of Pakistani origin for allegedly misbehaving with an air hostess during a PIA flight.
Airline sources said a group of five men of Pakistani origin were travelling together on flight PK-791 from Islamabad to Birmingham.
During the flight, the cabin crew found three men from the group allegedly smoking in the toilet, which is serious violation of flight rules.
When an air hostess forbade them from smoking, they misbehaved with her. One man in particular hurled abuse at her.
The air hostess complained about the incident to the pilot, who informed Birmingham airport.
British police made a number of passengers connected to the incident disembark and later arrested one man from the group.
When contacted, PIA spokesman Danyal Gilani said the airline’s investigation committee is also looking into the matter.
