A passenger who dipped a finger in wine and rubbed it on his genitals, before biting a policeman, is facing jail after a £2,500 rampage on a flight from Dubai to Birmingham.

Jasbir Singh Bharaj, 46, was described as ‘the worst passenger I had ever encountered,’ by flight attendants.

He was jailed for 11 months after the rampage, where he damaged in-flight systems, threatened stewardesses and bit a policeman.

Judge Burbridge QC, giving his sentence, told Bharaj: ‘On the Emirates flight you drank vodka mixed with wine and then proceeded to abuse cabin staff.


‘You demanded more alcohol and swore repeatedly even though there were four young children behind you who had to listen to your tirade.



‘You told a female member of cabin crew that if she were on the ground you would punch her in the face. And in a particularly grotesque piece of behaviour you dipped your fingers in your glass of wine and rubbed them on your private parts.

‘The air hostess felt abused and disgusted after seeing you touch yourself in such a sexually explicit way.

‘You shouted ‘F*****g Muslims – send them back to where they came from’ and ‘f******g ISIS’.

‘People need to know that if you get drunk on an aeroplane, upset other passengers and cause cabin crew to have a difficult job then custodial sentences apply.
