An American Airlines flight made an emergency landing in New York Wednesday after Neil McCarthy, a 25-year-old Oregon man, urinated in the aisle of the airplane and then exposed himself. The man was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and was later released after he appeared in a Buffalo federal court, New York Post reported.
American Airlines said in a statement that the flight was able to depart from Baffalo shortly after the incident.“We thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for their understanding,” the airline wrote.
The flight from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire diverted to Baffalo Airport after the incident. According to a criminal affidavit filed in federal court, McCarthy was traveling from Portland to Manchester with a layover in Chicago. Before boarding both flights, McCarthy says he had some ‘Jack and Cokes’ and even more during the flight to Manchester.
Medical urination problem of the accused
Reports said the accused has a medical urination problem. During the flight, he got up to use the restroom and when he was walking back to he seat, he was ‘flicking the bean’. A flight attendant on the flight told local law enforcement that McCarthy had exposed himself and urinated in the aisle of the small Embraer regional jet.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there have so far been 893 reports of unruly airline passenger behavior made to federal authorities since the start of the year.
