<p>
A drunk passenger aboard an Air India flight from Delhi to London beat up a male cabin crew member, leaving him with a bloodied ear and head injury.</p>
<p>
The inebriated passenger was travelling with a group of friends and he was pouring liquor from his own bottle that he had managed to get on board. This is prohibited due to flight safety and security reasons.</p>

On being questioned by the flight attendant, the drunk passenger flew into a rage and pinned him down in the aisle. The passenger then started kicking the flight attendant who started bleeding from the ears.</p>
<p>
The passenger and his friends also did not put on their masks after boarding the flight despite repeated reminders by the crew.</p>
<p>
An Air India spokesperson confirmed the incident. “After the flight landed, the passenger in question was arrested by the London police,” the spokesperson said.</p>
<p>
The cabin crew member, in his early thirties, was taken to a hospital in London for treatment and was subsequently discharged.</p>

The incident is reported to have taken place on July 7.</p>
