A business class passenger flying a long-haul flight was abruptly awoken and drenched from the waist down in another man’s urine.
On December 27, Jerome Gutierrez from Hillsborough, California, was traveling on a United flight from San Francisco to Manilla when the disgusting incident occurred.
Gutierrez’s stepdaughter Nicole Cornell described the incident, and said: “He was asleep and buckled in and was surprised when he looked at the man and thought he was dreaming.”

Although the flight crew gave him pajamas to change into, Cornell said that United Airlines did not do enough for her stepfather or for the biohazard risk.
She said: “They put the needs of the airline before my stepdad’s health. I am so disgusted and in shock with how United Airlines handled this. That is a biohazard, and the plane should’ve turned around to address this issue.”
According to Cornell, United flight attendants tried to calm the situation and asked Gutierrez not to approach the man in fear that there would be a confrontation, and he would become violent.

The passenger provided no explanation for such a revolting act. In an attempt to evade legal repercussions, the individual who urinated reportedly pleaded with Gutierrez for mercy and not to pursue charges.
United Airlines has verified that the passenger is now prohibited from boarding any future flights with the carrier.
