Porn-watching passenger tied up after stripping, 'masturbating & fondling cabin crew'
A 'disruptive' passenger who reportedly stripped naked and masturbated on a flight from Malaysia to Bangladesh was eventually tied up by the flight crew. The student allegedly attacked a female air steward during the flight.
The 20-year-old passenger reportedly stripped naked soon after the Malindo Air flight took off from Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. He was also seen watching porn on board, the Straits Times reports.
The man, who has been identified as a Bangladeshi student at a university in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, then tried to embrace female flight attendants on his way to the toilet. He grew aggressive when they rebuffed him, and attacked an air steward.

According to the Strait Times, other passengers restrained the man and tied his hands together with cloth. Images of the man sitting naked and also later when he was tied up circulated on social media and in Whatsapp groups.
The airline confirmed one person was tied up on a flight and arrested when the plane landed in Dhaka. “With regards to the incident about a disruptive passenger onboard OD162 to Dhaka on 3 March, the crew on board has followed the standard operating procedure to restrain passenger from any further disruption to the crew and passengers onboard,” Malindo Air said in a statement on Facebook.
