Other passengers on the Malindo flight told the New Straits Times the man had begun acting strangely soon after the plane departed from Kuala Lumpur, when he took off his clothes and masturbated while openly watching a pornographic film on his laptop.

The man, who was identified by The Star as a student from a private university in Cyberjaya, reportedly left his seat and tried to hug a female member of cabin crew on more than one occasion, becoming aggressive after a male member of cabin crew attempted to calm him down and asked him to put his clothes back on.
