A 30-year-old Brit has been arrested in Mallorca after allegedly trying to kiss an air steward on a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to the holiday island
A Brit holidaymaker has been arrested after allegedly trying to kiss an air steward on the neck during a flight to Spain.
Police boarded his Ryanair flight from London Stansted after it touched down in Mallorca and held him when the cabin attendant confirmed he wanted to press charges.
The 30-year-old was reportedly heavily intoxicated when he allegedly started causing problems on the plane.
The pilot radioed air traffic controllers at Palma Airport shortly before arriving and asked them to contact cops after the alleged sexual assault.
After declining at first to make a formal complaint, the air steward changed his mind and agreed to make a statement to police.
By then the tourist, who had been identified but initially avoided arrest because the cabin attendant at first indicated he didn’t want to press charges, had already left the plane and passed passport control.
He was held yesterday after attempting to board his return flight and hauled to court.
He was released on bail pending an ongoing investigation into the June 29 incident after appearing before a judge.
The Brit, who was seen being led into court in shorts and handcuffs escorted by two Civil Guard officers, has not been named.
It was not immediately clear this morning if he is still in Mallorca or has been allowed to leave the island and has managed to secure another flight home.
