A passenger on a United Airlines flight claimed he was forcibly dragged from an airplane bathroom with his pants down by a pilot who broke the lock of the door for taking too long.
Yisroel Liebb, 20, was on the first leg of his journey home to New Jersey with the airline, but was led away in handcuffs when they landed in Houston after a humiliating ordeal caused him to be ripped from the airplane bathroom with his genitals exposed.
Liebb said he suffered physical injuries, extreme emotional distress and anxiety, and in the complaint obtained by The Independent, he added that he felt 'sexually violated and embarrassed after having been publicly expose in the nude.'
The passenger said he had got up from his seat to use the toilet about half an hour into the journey from Tulum, Mexico to Houston, where he was then scheduled for a connecting flight to New York.
Around 20 minutes later, a flight attendant woke up Liebb's neighbor and fellow traveler Jacob Sebbag to check on Liebb.
Sebbag, 21, knocked on the door and asked if Liebb was alright, to which he replied that he was 'experiencing constipation' and would be out shortly, The Independent reported.
The complaint states that 'Sebbag relayed this to the stewardess and returned to his seat.'
Yet, 10 minutes later the pilot approached Sebbag and asked that he join him to 'once again try and get Liebb out,' the complaint added.

If the article is accurate some people need firing. However, I suspect the validity of the article.
Here’s more to the story- get the hell back in your seat, buckle up and quit acting suspicious in the most confined space known to man
The otherr passengers have no where to go to get away from this little selfish suspicious as hell rebel
The pilot handcuffed him for a reason that is going to stand up in court
Hot headedness is a trait of many people pilots included but not while in flight. The opposite.
“ He smelled a possible terror attack.”
Well I do, from here. So when I fly United, I sure as a want the pilot on the same wavelength.
If you’re constipated, why do you need the bathroom?
“Fly the friendly skies of United.”
It’s the only airline I fly. The pilot is not going to drag me out of anywhere. And if he doesn’t treat suspicious passengers appropriately I’ll find a different airline. I’m not flying unless the airline reasonably protects me
He was in the restroom for at least 30 minutes? I think there is a lot more to this story than published. How many times was he told to come out with his pants up before the pilot had to get involved ?
Was it time to land the plane and his moving into the restroom caused a delay?
Did he just figure out the restroom had a more comfortable seat and more leg room than coach?
to quote Ann Coulter: “still beats flying Delta”
Over half an hour in there. That’s where someone is gonna hide out and put together the bomb, assemble the pistol, etc.
You constipated you don’t sit on the throne for a half hour.
Pilot was right to see what was going on.
Also, what was Mr deeply pious orthodox doing in Tulum?
Airline pilots can be ….. interesting
That’s where the shoe bomber lit the fuse on his bomb.
Perhaps Leibb somehow jammed the lock from inside the lavatory, in which case the pilot would be well within his rights to force it open.
There's gotta be more to this story, and I suspect there is a lot more.
They dont even need a key. I have watched flight attendants lock and unlock doors from the outside with a hidden latch.
“Sebbag, 21, knocked on the door and asked if Liebb was alright, to which he replied that he was ‘experiencing constipation’ and would be out shortly
....
10 minutes later the pilot approached Sebbag and asked that he join him to ‘once again try and get Liebb out”
>> Can anything be more bizarre?
If there is, rest assured that Daily Mail will crawl through the bowels of the world until they FIND IT! 🤣
“flying Delta”
I flew Delta to and from Italy and was quite pleased with the food and experience.
“Also, what was Mr deeply pious orthodox doing in Tulum?”
There is a bunch of Orthodox called “Lev Tahor” that live somewhere possibly in Mexico or Guatemala. Still a closed community but they do live south of the boarder.
>> He was in there having a tug of war with cyclops?
Well that’s an elegant euphemism to me sure! 😂
I don’t think pilots should leave the cockpit during a flight.
The cockpit door should be locked and stay locked until the wheels are on the ground.
Oh please! Every time one of these airlines farts DM posts about it.
