United bans man from flight after he allegedly urinates on passenger: ‘Soaked from his stomach down’

SAN FRANCISCO - United Airlines recently banned a man from flying on their aircraft after he allegedly urinated on another passenger.

According to SFGATE, Jerome Gutierrez was traveling in business class on UA Flight 189 from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Manila, Philippines, on Dec. 27 when a man got up from his seat about four hours into the flight and began peeing on him, his stepdaughter said.

"He was asleep and buckled in and was surprised when he looked at the man and thought he was dreaming," Nicole Cornell, Gutierrez’s stepdaughter, told SFGATE in an email. 

After the man had finished, "Jerome realized he was soaked from his stomach down in that man’s urine," she claimed.

Cornell wrote that United flight attendants asked Gutierrez "not to approach the man in fear that there would be a confrontation, and he would become violent." Cornell said that United provided Gutierrez with pajamas to wear after he was urinated on.

United Airlines responded to FOX Television Stations’ request for comment, confirming that the airline asked police to meet the flight when it arrived in Manila to address "a passenger disturbance."

"We have banned this passenger," United Airlines continued. They did not comment on the subject of the incident.
