Narrative

I WALKED TO THE AFT COACH CABIN TO TALK TO THE PAX WHO WERE FIGHTING. AT ROW X FOUND A BACK PACK IN THE AISLE. PAX IN ROW X SAID THE BAG WAS HERS AND STARTED CUSSING AND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE AS I WAS STILL BENT OVER. I LEFT THE AREA AND ADVISED FLT ATTENDANTS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE PAX IN ROW X UNTIL I ASSESSED THE SIT WITH THE CAPT. AS WE WERE JUST TO THE POINT OF XING THE OCEAN; I HAD TO DECIDE TO GO ON OR LAND. I WENT BACK TO ROW X. THE PAX APPEARED TO BE FALLING ASLEEP. ANOTHER PAX SAID THIS PAX HAD BEEN DRINKING OUT OF A FLASK. (NO ALCOHOL WAS SERVED TO PAX BY FLT ATTENDANTS). I FELT WE COULD GO ON TO LONDON. APPROX 1 HR LATER CREW ADVISED THAT THE PAX HAD GONE INTO THE CREW REST AREA; WAKING FLT ATTENDANT. I PHYSICALLY REMOVED HER AND TOLD HER SHE MUST REMAIN IN HER SEAT. SHE PROCEEDED TO STEAL 4 BLANKETS FROM PAX AND FELL BACK TO SLEEP. UPON LNDG PA; FLT ATTENDANT #7 ASKED HER TO PUT UP TRAY TABLE. SHE CUSSES AND USES THE 'F' WORD TO THE FLT ATTENDANT. PAX WAS MET IN LONDON BY THE AUTHS.
