British Airways flight attendant ‘found naked and dancing in business class toilet' after allegedly taking drugs
A naked British Airways crew member was discovered dancing in a business class toilet while on shift mid-flight after allegedly taking drugs, according to reports. The Sun reported the steward was supposed to be serving meals to passengers on a recent flight from San Francisco to London Heathrow, but had disappeared. When the double-decker Airbus A380-800 was searched, it is claimed that the in-flight crew manager discovered him naked and dancing in the Club World cabin toilet. Staff reportedly dressed their colleague in a spare pair of pyjamas used by first-class passengers before buckling him into a first-class seat, where he stayed for the remainder of the 10-and-a-half-hour trip. The Metropolitan Police said a 41-year-old man on a flight from San Francisco to London Heathrow Airport was arrested on suspicion of being unfit for duty. The force said officers were called by cabin crew over concerns for the welfare of a man just after 9.30am. When the plane landed, he was taken to hospital for treatment, before being arrested and later released under investigation as enquiries continue. British Airways told The Independent the incident is a matter for the police. The Met said in a statement: 'At 9.32am, police based at Heathrow Airport were called by cabin crew following the concern for welfare of a man on an inbound flight from San Francisco. 'A 41-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment once the flight had landed. 'Officers arrested the man after he received medical attention. He was arrested on suspicion of being unfit for duty. He has since been released under investigation. 'Enquiries remain ongoing into the circumstances, and an investigation has been launched.'

BREAKING NEWS Terror on American Airlines as passenger attacks flight attendant
A man was arrested for allegedly attacking an American Airlines crew member mid-flight and dragging up the plane aisle. Julius Jordan Priester, 24, of Kansas, was arrested and charged with assault of a crew member on a Chicago -bound flight Tuesday night, according to the Department of Justice. Priester allegedly started to take off his shirt about 30 minutes into the flight and ran to the back of the plane yelling 'help me'. He then grabbed the flight attendant out of their seat and shouted 'you're coming with me' as he forced them to the ground, prosecutors claim. He then tried to drag the crew member up the aisle, but several other passengers stepped in and were able to get Priester back to his seat. After the alleged assault, Priester continued to act erratically and made incoherent remarks, the DOJ states. The pilot was forced to return the plane to Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut and make an emergency landing. Priester was removed from the plane by Connecticut State Police and transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. He is detained pending a bond hearing that is scheduled for today.
