A Delta Air Lines Inc. passenger created havoc on an eight-hour flight from Dublin to New York after repeatedly refusing to wear a face mask and exposing his backside in Delta’s first-class section, according to U.S. prosecutors.
He “pulled down his pants and underwear and mooned a flight attendant and passengers,” the U.S. said in a statement. “At least one passenger found the defendant’s conduct to be scary,” FBI agent Mark Palagiano said in a warrant for the arrest of Shane McInerney.
