United pilot 'attacked and dragged passenger out of plane bathroom with his pants down for taking too long on toilet'
Daily Mail UK ^ | March 23, 2025 | Lauren Acton-Taylor

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.

Now, that is one hot tempered pilot! I thought they were supposed to be cool headed and congenial most of the time.
This was probably just as it appears: an unfortunate passenger with (Uber!!) inconvenient bowel blockage.

The two passengers will very likely receive a ‘nice’ settlement, due to all the rough handling, but may be declared as No Fly on this airline.

Wonder if they suspected he was planning a terrorist attack.

If that guy has a condition like gastroparesis, the airline better get their checkbook out.

Can a person really get arrested for being constipated?

Were there other passengers who needed to use the toilet and were complaining?

The Jew-baiting by the pilot should get him fired. There are plenty of pilots who would be happy to have the job.

by a pilot who broke the lock of the door for taking too long.

Flight crew have keys to manually lock and unlock lavatory doors.

Like many Daily Fail stories, this one reads like it is seasoned with an extra serving of pure speculation.

The article reads like a sensationally written brief penned by plaintiff’s counsel.

“ Wonder if they suspected he was planning a terrorist attack.”

Naaah. It’s like everyone here says, jokingly, it’s just fine for someone to be in the BR on a united flight for 20 minutes He could not possibly be concocting anything in a makeshift lab.

The pilot is a bully. He’s probably ex military which we all want. Until we don’t, right?
We want guys to protect us, but we draw the line at insulting people
This weirdo exploding the aircraft at 30000 feet is much better than insulting this little prick.

Take yer pick:

A. The pilot is a crazy anti-Semite.
B. Something important is missing from this story.
C. Both A and B.

I read over the article twice. And I’m still not sure which one I’d pick.

I know they have keys so why did the pilot kick the door open?

Considering the stories about the airlines recently?

The pilot is a hot head who has had enough of rude passengers in the past and shot off his mouth without thinking.

“ Were there other passengers who needed to use the toilet and were complaining?”

I take the never forget 9/11 more seriously than other?

I know if I’m flying and the creep sitting in front of me disappears for 20 minutes and has a friend he left in the other seat who’s unconcerned or worse, I’m hoping a former f16 pilot comes back and yanks him out of his little bidet-hole and handcuffs him

But that’s just me. Got a group of friends whose names are etched on trade center plaza

A sudden attack of constipation leaving Mexico? Constipation is the opposite effect we normally associate with Montezuma’s Revenge. Hiding in the toilet on such a short flight would make a lot of people suspicious. I’m leaning toward “more to the story” side of things.

also with what we know about the airlines recently the pilot is a DEI hire?

Okay laz I have a theory. He was in there having a tug of war with cyclops? What say you?

He smelled a possible terror attack.
