LONDON – British police has arrested a British man of Pakistani origin for allegedly abusing and misbehaving with an air hostess during a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight.
Airline sources said a group of five men of Pakistani origin were traveling together on flight PK-791 from Islamabad to Birmingham.
During the flight, the cabin crew found three men from the group allegedly smoking in the toilet, which is a serious violation of flight rules.
