Jet2 passenger fined after threatening to urinate on cabin crew over face mask rules

A passenger who flew on budget airline Jet2 last month has been fined GBP660 for allegedly threatening to urinate on and injure a member of the cabin crew who had asked him to wear a mask. The 57-year-old man pleaded guilty when he appeared in court in Manchester, UK on Monday. Christopher Tooth was flying with his 34-year-old son from Cyprus to Manchester on October 23 when the incident happened. It's reported that Tooth became abusive and aggressive towards a member of the cabin crew after his son was accused of eating one of the crew member's meals. Tooth's son was then reminded to wear a face mask, as required, for the duration of the flight. Prosecutors told the Manchester Magistrates Court that Tooth had first threatened to urinate on a crew member before leaving his seat and urinating on the door of the onboard toilet. Tooth allegedly threatened the cabin crew manager, telling them he'd "f**king drag you off this plane". Once the aircraft had landed, Tooth got out of his seat and attempted to use the bathroom again. Story has details.<br/>
