Narrative

DURING TKOF (WE WERE STILL CLBING); A MALE PAX CAME TO THE BACK WHERE I WAS SEATED. HE WAS VERY UPSET. HE WAS SEATED NEXT TO ANOTHER MALE PAX WHO APPARENTLY WAS BEHAVING STRANGELY; BODY JERKS; TALKING TO HIMSELF; AND TAKING HIS CLOTHES OFF. I WENT TO CHK ON THIS PAX AND SAW THAT HE HAD TAKEN HIS SHIRT OFF AND WAS LYING DOWN ON THE ROW WITH HIS BARE FEET ALL THE WAY UP THE SIDEWALL. I TOUCHED HIS SHOULDER; TOLD HIM HE HAD TO SIT UP; AND PUT HIS SHIRT ON. HE DIDN'T RESPOND; SO I LIFTED HIM UP TO A SITTING POS AND I COULD TELL HE WAS VERY 'OUT OF IT.' HIS EYES WERE ALMOST SLITS. HE WAS JERKY; HIS LEGS WERE SHAKING AND HIS KNEES WERE KNOCKING. HIS BEHAVIOR APPEARED TO BE THAT OF SOMEONE ON SOME KIND OF DRUGS OR MEDICATION. I ASKED IF HE HAD TAKEN ANY MEDICATION AND HE SLOWLY GESTURED TO HIS BACK AND BEGAN TO GO THROUGH HIS WALLET. HE WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US AND HE WAS FRIGHTENING THE PAX SEATED NEXT TO HIM. THE CREW DECIDED TO RETURN TO SJU AND HAVE HIM REMOVED. I TRIED 3 TIMES TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM (IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH). HE WAS SWEATY; SMELLY AND PALE. WE SAT A MALE PAX NEXT TO HIM TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM UNTIL LNDG.
