Ticker: A flyer says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom. Now he’s suing

An Orthodox Jewish passenger says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom while he was experiencing constipation.

Yisroel Liebb says the act caused his genitalia to be exposed to other flyers during the flight from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston. He describes his trip in a federal lawsuit filed this week against the airline and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Liebb says Homeland Security officers boarded the plane upon landing and took him away in handcuffs.

He says the delay caused him and a fellow Orthodox Jewish traveler to miss a connecting flight to New York. Messages seeking comment were left for United Airlines, the Department of Homeland Security and lawyers for Liebb and the other traveler, Jacob Sebbag.
