USA: Unruly PAX smashes tray and forces flight attendants to kiss
A 61-year-old "unruly PAX" who was traveling in first class between Minneapolis and Anchorage was handcuffed after landing. He had previously harassed a male flight attendant and is said to have "forcibly kissed" him. The Texan was traveling on board Delta flight DL 10 on April 2023, 517.

He refused and then the "unruly PAX" is said to have attacked the flight attendant and kissed him violently.
