‘Strange behaviour’ of BA passenger accused of assaulting flight attendants
A court has heard of the bizarre antics of a British Airways passenger accused of assaulting five flight attendants.
William Clegg, 31, is accused of assault during a BA flight from San Jose, CA to Heathrow in August 2019.
The jury was told that Clegg suffered from epilepsy and insomnia, and consumed alcohol with his medication.
"This led to him acting bizarrely," the prosecutor said.
"He was walking up and down the flight in business class while shouting. He went to the galley and started throwing chocolate bars."
He then tried to head-butt a flight attendant and assaulted others.
Clegg, from Notting Hill, London, denies the five counts of assault by beating.
