The Philippine National Police–Aviation Security Group on Saturday announced the arrest of a 63-year-old man at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 over alleged harassment and disorderly conduct on a flight from Los Angeles.
The incident began when a female passenger reported disruptive behavior, including stomping and leg shaking, prompting her to request a seat change.
Another passenger alleged the man was viewing explicit content visible to others, including minors, leading flight attendants to escalate the matter to the pilot.
The woman later said the man shouted at her, causing distress. He acknowledged the incident and apologized, citing privacy, and was asked to personally apologize.
Upon arrival, the complainant filed charges for unjust vexation, leading to the man’s arrest, police said, adding that such misconduct will not be tolerated.
