The crew members were reportedly relaxing in the cabin crew gallery at the back of the plane when the unfortunate event occurred.
According to Tohteh Rommanee, a crew member of the said plane, he personally witnessed the incident and described the man as intoxicated as he was reeking with liquor. He narrated that he and other crew members were in the gallery when, all of a sudden, the curtain was yanked open to their horror.
The man quickly grabbed one of the female flight attendants and pinned her down to the floor, strangled her neck and tore her shirt off in quick succession. The man successfully stripped down to his underwear before other crew members came to her rescue.
The incident prompted other passengers to help subdue the man and tied him to his seat. He was later escorted out of the plane by airport security personnel without facing any charges.
The airline, however, put him on a blacklist, thus making him one of the passengers who are banned from flying with the carrier again.
