Narrative

PAX X SEATED IN XX WAS INTOXICATED. HE WAS REFUSED MORE LIQUOR. HOWEVER; HE OPENED A BOTTLE HE HAD PURCHASED FROM DUTY FREE. FLT ATTENDANT TOOK THE BOTTLE FROM HIM. HE PROCEEDED TO WALK UP AND DOWN THE AISLE; BEING LOUD AND TAKING HIS SHIRT OFF. FLT ATTENDANT #2 WAS THE MAIN FLT ATTENDANT WHO CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE PAX. APPARENTLY; THE PAX THREATENED FLT ATTENDANT #2. I DID NOT WITNESS THIS. HOWEVER; I DID GO TALK TO THE PAX AND EXPLAINED TO HIM IF HE DIDN'T QUIET DOWN WE WERE GOING TO LAND. UPON LNDG IN ZZZ; THE POLICE BOARDED THE ACFT AND TOOK THE PAX OFF. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THAT SHE HEARD SECOND-HAND THAT THE MALE FLT ATTENDANT; WHO DEALT THE MOST WITH THE PAX; WAS ACTUALLY PERSONALLY THREATENED BY HIM. SHE FELT THE FLT ATTENDANT'S GENDER MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIS LOUD BEHAVIOR; BECAUSE WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO TALK TO HIM; HE QUIETED DOWN AND THEN HE PUT A BLANKET OVER HIS HEAD. THEY HAD TO MOVE A PAX SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM TO BUSINESS CLASS TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCENE. WHEN THEY GOT TO THEIR DEST; THE POLICE (WHO MET THE FLT) HAD EVERYONE STAY IN THEIR SEATS UNTIL THEY CAME ON BOARD AND TOOK HIM OFF; STILL WITH THE BLANKET COVERING HIS HEAD.
