A passenger allegedly urinated outside a Southwest lavatory. He faces federal charges.
A man was arrested Friday after he urinated near a galley door and threatened flight attendants on a flight from Dallas to Burbank, Calif., authorities said.
The Southwest Airlines flight diverted to Albuquerque because the crew members “feared for their safety as well as that of the flight,” according to a federal complaint.
It was the latest example of the rise in unruly passenger behavior that has prompted stepped-up enforcement by federal officials and calls from the airline industry to add disruptive fliers to a national no-fly list.
