An American man was arrested after he reportedly urinated on another passenger during a flight from Chicago to Japan Friday.

According to the Japan Times, 24-year-old Denish Kishorchandra Parekh was on an All Nippon Airways flight to Narita International Airport when he reportedly drank four glasses of champagne and a sake.

Once intoxicated, Parekh reportedly got up from his seat and began urinating on a 50-year-old Japanese man sitting two rows behind him. The unidentified victim was asleep in the business class section of the plane when the incident occurred.

Cabin crew members were forced to restrain Parekh until the aircraft landed safely in Japan, where local police boarded the flight and arrested him.

Parekh denied the incident when questioned by authorities and said he could not remember anything that took place due to his alcohol consumption.
