An airline passenger who unleashed racial abuse on fellow flyers, bit a policeman and made lewd gestures to an air hostess, has been jailed.
Jasbir Singh Bharaj, 46, was labelled by a flight attendant the "worst passenger I've ever encountered" after he went on a drunken rampage on a flight
from Dubai to Birmingham.
The Telegraph reports Bharaj was sentenced to 11 months' jail for his behaviour on board the Emirates flight in September last year.
The court heard he threatened to punch an air hostess in the face and he caused NZ$5750 worth of damage to an entertainment system.
He also made sexually explicit gestures to female members of staff and was seen dipping his finger in wine and rubbing it on his genitals.
