The crew member that was attacked on the flight had received medical attention.
Background:
A male Karen who took the Singapore airlines plane from Bangkok to Singapore threatened that he will push the air steward over if he does not get his water.
The passenger was told that he needed to sit down as the seat belt sign was still on.
The steward told him that it was the law but the man responded by saying “you think I care about your f-ing law?”
He wrote:
On 8 Nov 2022, on sq711 landed at Singapore Terminal 2 from Bangkok this crazy passenger threatened to push over the sq crew if he does not give him water. The seat belt sign is still on and he suppose to be seated. Wasted all the passenger time for the ground staff security to take him off the plane.
