"As he continued to relieve himself, Rubin lost his balance and fell backwards and urinated upwards which got the passengers and seats next to him as well as some other passengers' personal belongings," the police report stated.
When the officers boarded the aircraft, they found Rubin slumped over asleep in his seat. The crew and the fellow passengers were completely shocked by the act committed by the drunk passenger.
