A man has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines after he says he was forcibly removed from an airplane's bathroom on a flight from Tulum, Mexico to Houston.
Allegedly, flight attendants forced the passenger from the bathroom after he locked himself in there for more than half an hour after he was "experiencing constipation."
The passenger, Yisroel Liebb, and a companion say the flight crew proceeded to make disparaging remarks about the two of them, and the altercation forced them to miss their connecting flight to New York City after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers "paraded them through an airport terminal, placed them in holding cells and searched their luggage."
United Airlines, who declined to comment on the matter, provided the men a flight to New York the day after the incident, but according to FOX 26, the lawsuit states that the cost for food and lodging in Houston negated the value of the free flight.
