Fijian soldier arrested for urinating on Japanese woman

A bizarre news story from Stuff.co.nz:

Fiji’s international carrier Air Pacific says it has apologised to a young Japanese woman after a Fijian soldier urinated on her, the Fiji Sun reported today.

It said the soldier was returning from peacekeeping duties in Sinai when he flew from Japan to Fiji on March 22.

The Sun said the soldier exposed his private parts to a young female Japanese tourist and urinated on her. Other passengers on the flight were alerted to the incident when the tourist screamed.

[...]

“The customer was provided with cleansing cloths, antiseptic, a change of clothes from the in-flight duty-free sales materials and together with her travelling companion, were provided compensation,” he said.

The woman has apparently accepted the apology “in a traditional Japanese manner and attaches no blame to Air Pacific”, the Fiji Sun reported.

The article does not say why the soldier felt the urge to pee on the Japanese woman, so I guess we’ll just have to assume he was drunk and thought the woman’s seat was a toilet?
