Tigerair passenger ‘rubbed himself next to woman on flight’

A Tigerair passenger allegedly masturbated next to a woman on a flight before telling her she was beautiful and asking if she had a boyfriend. 

The horrified woman was sitting in the window seat of an empty row on a flight from Perth to Sydney last month.

A man in his early 20s with a partially shaved head and pony tail then sat in the aisle seat and started ‘rubbing his genitalia,’ she said.

‘He sat down, he had his sunglasses on, earphones in, smelled of alcohol, and the entire time, he was rubbing his genitalia,’ the woman told news.com. 

She then described in graphic detail how he continued masturbating, adding: ‘I was freaked out, it made me feel very uncomfortable.’

‘I kept looking thinking, ”is that actually happening”?’

The woman said she called the air hostess who told her the man needed the toilet and she would check on her later.

The man then touched the woman on the arm and showed her a message on his phone which read: ‘I’m sorry about before if that made you feel uncomfortable.’
