A passenger allegedly urinated on a fellow passenger during a recent American Airlines flight and was promptly arrest, TMZ reports.

The incident unfolded during a flight from New York to New Delhi on Sunday. And while further details about the incident are unclear, the passenger who unzipped their pants was apparently not under the influence, and arrested upon arrival to New Delhi.

“American Airlines flight 292 with service from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) was met by local law enforcement upon arrival in DEL due to a disruption on board,” American Airlines said in a statement.

It seems like this is becoming something of a trend. According to TMZ, there have been at least two other occurrences of passengers urinating on fellow travelers during flights from New York to New Delhi.

In other American Airlines news, in late February, a flight was forced to divert because a passenger became “unruly,” per U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg.

The flight was traveling from Jacksonville, Florida to Washington D.C. However, it didn’t arrive at its destination because a woman in first class “made a fuss” about free drinks. The plane was redirected to Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina and the woman was arrested by authorities because she may have tried to “breach” the flight deck.
