A drunk Italian woman was arrested after punching and spitting on the Vistara cabin crew, and walking semi-naked on the flight in an inebriated state. The 45-year-old Italian woman passenger was arrested earlier on Monday morning after she created a ruckus on the Abu Dhabi to Mumbai Vistara Airline flight. The passenger in question was identified as Paola Perruccio, who had to be tied in to a seat till the flight landed at the Mumbai international airport at 5 am. She was released on bail after being produced before the court.

As per one of the Vistara crew members LS Khan, the passenger was seated in 11 c of the economy class, when she got out of her seat and ran to the business class and sat there. When she was requested to take her own seat, she punched Khan’s face. When another cabin crew member rushed in to deescalate the situation, the drunk Italian passenger spat on her.

As per a TOI report, the woman also went on to strip out of her clothes, and walked around the vacant space on board, hurling abuses. On the captain’s instructions, the crew overpowered her and tied her to a seat to the plane’s rear end.

The woman was booked under bailable offences of Indian Penal Code and Aircraft Rules 1937.
