Man arrested after urinating on fellow passengers during flight
A man has been arrested on a JetBlue flight after he apparently decided to use the cabin as a toilet - and urinated on other passengers.
Jeff Rubin, 27, from Oregon, was on a flight from Alaska to Portland when the incident occurred, according to the Independent.

He had been asleep for most of the flight, before waking briefly around 30 minutes before landing and peeing in his seat.
According to CNN, a police report said that "he stood up and began urinating through the crack of the seat onto the passengers seated in front of him."
It continued: "At some point Jeff Rubin lost his balance causing him to fall backwards and urinate upwards which got on the passengers and seats next to him as well as some other passenger's personal belongings."
Rubin was slumped in his seat and asleep when police boarded the plane to arrest him.
Suzanna Caldwell, an Alaska Dispatch News reporter, was sitting two rows in front of Rubin at the time. She said passengers remained calm during the incident.
According to the Guardian, she added: "It's not like anyone was screaming. I didn't even realise anything had happened until the flight attendants came up to me and told me police were going to come on board."
Rubin was released after around five hours in jail and he now faces two charges of criminal mischief and offensive littering.
